Tokyo: Private Calligraphy and Meditation with a Monk

Join a Buddhist monk for a private Japanese calligraphy and sutra-copying experience in a quiet Tokyo temple. No experience needed.
Experience Japanese culture through calligraphy and temple meditation in Tokyo. This private group experience is led by a Buddhist monk who will explain Japanese religion and the history of the temple. Participants can ask questions about Japanese culture, Buddhism, or life as a monk.
The experience begins with a calligraphy lesson. All basic techniques are taught carefully, including how to hold the brush and write Japanese characters. After learning the fundamentals, participants can choose a favorite word or phrase to create their own calligraphy artwork. Each participant takes home their unique creation as a memory of the experience.
The final part of the experience is a sutra-copying (shakyo) session. In a quiet and peaceful environment, participants focus on the sutra while the monk chants. This meditative practice helps calm the mind and allows a deeper connection with Japanese tradition.
This experience combines learning, creativity, and mindfulness. It is a unique opportunity to explore Japanese culture with a real monk, enjoy the temple’s calm atmosphere, and take home personal artwork and a sense of inner peace.
