About this event

In Kawakami Village, Nara Prefecture, this special experiential program lets participants write their favorite single kanji character on a Yoshino cedar board under the instruction of calligrapher Kazunari Doi. Designed so beginners can participate with confidence, the session begins with practice using a brush on hanshi paper before writing a heartfelt single character on a Yoshino cedar board. Through this experience, participants can not only connect with the world of calligraphy but also feel the warmth of Yoshino cedar nurtured by Kawakami Village's rich nature. The venue is Asahidankan, a historic inn operating since the Taisho era, where a heartwarming lunch can also be enjoyed. All tools are provided, so you can easily participate empty-handed. In this autumn of arts, why not leave your own unique "single character" as a Yoshino cedar artwork in Kawakami Village? This experience is recommended for calligraphy enthusiasts as well as anyone looking to enjoy a new form of expression.
