Write with brush and sumi ink in Kujo-kan, a historic hall in the museum garden that is normally closed to the public, guided by an award-winning calligrapher. Take home your own fan or board.
Spend 60 minutes with a brush and sumi ink inside Kujo-kan, a wooden hall in the garden of the Tokyo National Museum that is normally closed to the public and opened specially for this workshop. The hall once belonged to the Kujo family, one of the five noble houses from which Japan's imperial regents were chosen. It began in the grounds of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and was moved to the museum garden in 1934.

Your teacher is Yoshun Teranishi, who has studied calligraphy since the age of eight and received the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award at the 87th Shodan-in Exhibition. She runs Atelier Kakko, a calligraphy school in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, and spent ten years teaching Japanese as a second language, so she is used to explaining characters to people meeting them for the first time.

You begin by learning how hiragana, katakana and kanji are connected and practise basic strokes with simple characters such as 三 (three) and 川 (river). Then you choose the characters you would like to write, practise them from a model, and write your final piece on an uchiwa fan or a shikishi board of your choice, finished with a seal stamp. If you let us know your name in advance, a model of it in katakana can be prepared for you.

The aim is not a perfect copy but a brushstroke that is recognisably your own. The session is led using simple English and demonstrations by the instructor with two assistants, and Japanese guests are supported in Japanese. Beginners and solo travellers are welcome.

Held on one day only: Friday, October 23, 2026.
