Der Kalligraphie-Kurs hat uns die japanische Sprache näher gebracht, da wir durch selbstständiges Schreiben der Schriftzeichen gemerkt haben, wie schwer die japanische Sprache ist. Die Leiterin des Workshops war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie hat uns die Kalligraphie Schritt für Schritt erklärt und beispielhaft vorgezeichnet. Dies hat uns sehr geholfen. Wir konnten eine Vielzahl an Schriftzeichen schreiben lernen. Die Schriftzeichen durften wir auf bspw. Postkarten, einen Schlüsselanhänger, einen Fächer und einer Schriftrolle zeichnen. Zudem haben wir noch weitere tolle Geschenke, wie einen personalisierten Beutel und eigenen Stempel sowie weitere Kleinigkeiten erhalten. Dadurch wird der Kalligraphie-Kurs zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Wir empfehlen den Kurs gern weiter.

The calligraphy course brought us closer to the Japanese language, because by writing the characters ourselves we realised how difficult Japanese really is. The workshop leader was very friendly and helpful. She explained each step of the process and demonstrated the strokes, which helped us a lot. We learned to write many different characters and could put them on postcards, a key-ring, a fan and even a hanging scroll. We also received wonderful gifts like a personalised tote bag, our own stamp and other small extras. All of this made the calligraphy course an unforgettable experience. We would gladly recommend it.

This activity was a very cool experience. We were the only ones who signed up for our timeslot, so we received a lot of personalized attention. The calligraphy is a lot harder than it looks! But we had plenty of time and paper to practice on. We made postcards, keychains, bags and scrolls using both books containing select symbols and how to write them as well as in-person guidance. We left with so many cool gifts that we can take home and display as a reminder of our time in Tokyo.
