My wife and I really enjoyed the calligraphy workshop. The workshop was held in a quiet location and the materials perfect. The Japanese instructor spoke good English with clear instructions and was very patient and helpful. We left with examples of our work that we will treasure as a memory of a lovely day in Kyoto.
