多文化コミュニティの皆様へ・For Our Multicultural Community
For prospective students living in Japan - welcome to the Kyokuran＿kai website!
At Kyokuran-kai, we teach students calligraphy - a Japanese tradition - starting with the basics: how to prepare the necessary tools, how to hold a brush, and how to write kanji and hiragana. We aim to create calligraphy works that encourage the student to independently think about what he/she is writing. 
We use the calligraphy textbook “Sumi” and offer the opportunity to obtain levels “kyu” and “dan” and “shihan” classification as you move up in rank.
In our classes, we do not have separate classes for foreign students so you will be learning together with Japanese students. Therefore, please note that daily conversations are conducted in Japanese.
We also offer online lessons, which are conducted on a one-on-one basis.
If you are interested in learning more, we offer a paid trial lesson before you enroll. Please feel free to contact us.
※Paid trial lesson: 1,500 yen (cash only)
※We will lend you the tools on the day of the lesson.
※Reservations can be made here.
