curriculum

Small class size and thorough instruction

The world of washi paper and ink

It stimulates children's creativity and sensitivity.

Through the study of calligraphy and painting,

With confidence and pride as a Japanese person,

I believe that this will be an unshakable core for a global future.

You can choose the course that best suits each child. You can also change the course midway.

Monthly online input class (50 minutes) and

Output class once a month (50 minutes ❌2)

※In online input classes

You will learn how to write with a hard pen, how to balance characters, how to read them, and how to prepare for the output of your ink painting.

( You can't become good at calligraphy by just blindly copying and writing from a model. Even if you go to a calligraphy class, you won't be able to write without a model. It's important to understand the theory behind what makes characters look beautiful and to be able to output that knowledge.
