Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
This experience offers exclusive access to a modern, minimalist studio designed by a local architect. Unlike standard tourist classes, we combine the mindfulness of whisking your own Matcha green tea with authentic Japanese calligraphy. You will write your chosen Kanji on a premium Washi postcard and mail it home from a vintage Japanese postbox.
Furthermore, the host, a professional designer, offers premium on-site upgrades (payable at the studio). You can choose to have your artwork professionally digitized into vector files (perfect for a lifetime tattoo or logo) or take it home in a custom-made wooden box packed with aromatic Hinoki wood shavings.
