This is a combined calligraphy and tea ceremony experience inside an old house with traditional tatami rooms in the center of Tokyo. You will learn the art of writing Japanese kanji characters with a real ink and brush over Japanese washi paper, and take home your writing attached to a beautiful hanging scroll (kakejiku). The tea ceremony is held at a traditional tatami around an irori sunken hearth. You will taste Japanese sweets together with a cup of matcha that the instructor will prepare in front of you. As an add-on option, you will be able to whisk matcha yourself and make your own cup of green tea. Select "premium" for whisking your own matcha experience.
