Learn Japanese Zen Calligraphy in Kimono near Osaka Castle
Overview
**Experience the beauty and discipline of Japanese Zen calligraphy, dressed in a traditional kimono, near the iconic Osaka Castle.**
Begin by changing into a kimono and learning the fundamental principles and etiquette of Japanese calligraphy. After mastering basic brush strokes, select a "kanji" (Japanese character) of your choice to express through your art.
Even beginners can learn how to use the brush by practicing repeatedly. It is important to note, however, that we must actually understand the technique used, rather than just practicing in the dark.
You'll observe and learn from the teacher's demonstration by example. Calligraphy is a traditional Japanese culture that uses brush and ink to express characters artistically, and is appreciated for the neatness of the characters, the way the brush is carried, the shade of the ink, and the beauty of the overall arrangement.
