Calligraphy Workshop: Summer Greetings - Photos

Calligraphy Workshop: Summer Greetings - Photos

Following our popular kakizome workshop in January, Japan Society was pleased to host a shochu mimai (summer greeting cards) workshop on Saturday 22 July. Guided by calligrapher Yoko Takenami, participants discovered different styles of Japanese writing, understood how to use a brush correctly and learnt how to combine kanji and hiragana in an aesthetically pleasing way.

We are delighted to share photos from the sessions below. For those unable to attend this time, please Join our Mailing List to receive information about future workshops.
