Private Hiroshima Calligraphy: Create Your Own Kanji Art Souvenir

In this experience, you’ll learn the basics of Japanese calligraphy, translate your name or favorite words into Kanji, and create a personal souvenir to take home.

Overview

In a calm Japanese art studio near Peace Memorial Park, you’ll experience shodō, the traditional art of writing with brush and ink.

Using a high-quality brush crafted in Hiroshima, you’ll practice the basics and create your own Kanji artwork, such as your name or a meaningful word.
With gentle, step-by-step guidance, even complete beginners can enjoy the process and finish a piece they’re proud of.

In the final stage, your calligraphy is turned into a special souvenir, such as a T-shirt or fan, to take home. The serene studio is also great for photos, making this experience perfect for couples, families, and solo travelers.

선생님이 친절하게 알려주시고 교정을 잘 해주셨습니다! 일본의 글씨 문화나 역사에 대해서 알게되어서 좋았어요. 글씨 쓰는데 차분하게 쓸 수 있어서 좋았어요. 마지막에 글씨 쓰고 꾸미는게 일본스러운 느낌이라 더더욱 좋았습니다!! 추천합니다~~!

It was my first time doing calligraphy and it has been an absolutely stellar experience. Chihiro was a great host and gave us a lot of guidance and her energy made the atmosphere so welcoming and encouraging. The calligraphy itself was challenging but calming and therapeutic. We got to write a kanji of our choice on a small Canva and decorate it. We got a lot of practice and explanation before drawing on the Canva, and Chihiro helps us a lot by giving a demonstration on how to write the kanji we chose. The place itself was really cute

바쁜 여행중에 잠시 멈춰 숨을 고르는 힐링되는 시간이었습니다🙆‍♀️ 서예 하나도 기억이 안났는데 🥲ㅋㅋ 연습도 충분히 하게 해주시고 쓰고싶은거 예시로 써주셔서 더 쓰기 수월했어요. 일본의 서예 문화에 대해서 알려주셔서 좋았고 가져갈 수 있도록 액자도 주시고 색종이도 주셔서 여행을 기억하기에도 좋은 것 같습니다. 건물도 너무 감도높고 예뻐요 💖 올해부터 시작하셨다던데 뭔가 한발먼저 체험해볼수 있어서 좋았습니다! 추천추천
