Hiroshima Calligraphy Experience – Kanji Name & Personal Souvenir

Japanese calligraphy (shodo) is a traditional art that expresses words and feelings using brush and ink.


In this experience, you’ll learn the basics of calligraphy, practice writing your name using a brush and ink, and create a personal souvenir.

Hiroshima is known as the top producer of traditional calligraphy brushes in Japan. The brush you’ll use today is handcrafted in Kumano Town, a famous brush-making area right here in Hiroshima.

At the end of the session, you’ll write your name in kanji and turn your artwork into a custom souvenir — such as a T-shirt, suitcase belt, or pouch.

Perfect for couples, families, and solo travelers.
The session takes about 90 minutes and is just a short walk from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

Come join us for a peaceful and creative experience during your visit to Hiroshima!
