Japanese Calligraphy: The Way of the Brush with Juju Kurihara

Japanese calligraphy, known as Shodo or “the way of writing,” has been practiced for over 1,500 years. It is more than just a technique; it is a journey from the functional copying of ancient texts to a high form of spiritual and artistic expression. Moving beyond simple handwriting, this practice offers a meditative space to focus the mind and explore artistic expression.

What you will learn:

  • A Brief History: Discover the origins and evolution of Shodo.
  • Mastering the Brush: Learn the fundamental movements and posture.
  • Character Foundations: Practice essential strokes and simple characters.
  • Personal Expression: Create a final piece featuring a word of your choice.

Come experience the beauty of the brush and leave with your own hand-written masterpiece. No previous experience or knowledge of Japanese language required.
