Great Japanese art experience - My wife and I had a really enjoyable lesson with Mai who taught us about the art work of Japanese Caligraphy. All the materials were of good quality and easy to use. Lots of chance to practice and then a very good quality version to take home. Learnt how to spell our names in Japanese which was great. Very peaceful environment.
