Overview
The activity is located in a quiet residential district just 4 minutes away by train from Shibuya Station in Tokyo. The house you'll enter has a dry garden and traditional interior, exuding the perfect ambience for tea ceremony and calligraphy experiences.
At the start of the workshop you will don a jinbei (traditional light clothing) and will first practice grinding solid ink and basic brush strokes. When you're confident enough to write the Japanese kanji character of your choice, you will choose between applying calligraphy art on a kakejiku hanging scroll or a wooden plate in the shape of a votive tablet or a mini paddle for Japanese hanetsuki (a type of badminton game). Take the piece of art with you as a memory from the calligraphy workshop.
The activity will continue with a tea ceremony in which the instructor will prepare matcha green tea in front of you using traditional tea utensils. You will learn the etiquette of drinking tea and will enjoy seasonal wagashi sweets.

This is a combined calligraphy and tea ceremony experience inside an old house with traditional tatami rooms in the center of Tokyo. You will learn the art of writing Japanese kanji characters with a real ink and brush over Japanese washi paper, and take home your writing attached to a beautiful hanging scroll (kakejiku). The tea ceremony is held at a traditional tatami around an irori sunken hearth. You will taste Japanese sweets together with a cup of matcha that the instructor will prepare in front of you. As an add-on option, you will be able to whisk matcha yourself and make your own cup of green tea.
