VALENTINES DAY WEEKEND CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP:
LOVE LETTERS FOR COUPLES

Celebrate Valentine’s Day Weekend with your Partner with Japanese Calligraphy

On the Valentine’s Day weekend, I’m excited and looking forward to welcome you at my atelier for an intimate, romantic, COUPLES-ONLY workshop to celebrate love!

In the Heian period in Japan (794–1185 CE), aristocrats exchanged love letters and poetry written in calligraphy as acts of courtship. To express their love, the quality of the calligraphy, cleverness of the verses, and the quality of the paper were all considered, and the exchange could lead to a meeting after dark.

During this COUPLES-ONLY 2 hour workshop, you will be seated facing your partner on our tranquil tatami mat floor in the atelier. Each of you will practice writing a love-themed Kanji character selected by the instructor, while thinking about your partner.  You will then create a love-infused calligraphy artwork on a special handmade washi shikishi board. We will also provide you with a greeting card with an artwork by Aoi Yamaguchi, for you to hand write a message to your partner. At the end of the session, you will exchange the artwork with your partner. It will be an unforgettable moment to see your partner’s love infused in calligraphy.

Join us for a romantic, unique way to express love to your loved one!
