Fantastic and meaningful experience with a t-shirt to boot! - I went with kiddo and this turned out to be such a fantastic family bonding and meaningful experience for us. She is an artist and I am…not. We both got to create wearable pieces that were personal to us. We also took full advantage of the option to add on additional images and purchase additional pieces. Mana was a very helpful and kind teacher and took lots of pictures she shared with us. The only negative was that we had another experience booked shortly after and had to rush to leave. If it were up to us, we would have reserved 2+ hours in our calendar for this calligraphy opportunity! Arigato gozaimasu, Mana! 🙏🏾 今は今

Unique Cultural Experience in Tokyo - Great experience! I learned to write the word that reflects my life philosophy here. They printed the kanji I wrote - along with a beautiful sakura design - onto a T-shirt, which has become my favorite piece of clothing. They’ll also send me a postcard with my calligraphy to my home address - such a lovely touch! Thank you for this meaningful and unforgettable experience ❤️‍🔥

T-shirt Calligraphy Worskhop - Trying out the calligraphy workshop was such a fun and memorable experience! ✨ It was definitely more challenging than I expected — every stroke requires so much focus and intention — but that made it all the more rewarding. There’s something really calming about the process, and it felt so fulfilling to create something beautiful by hand. Highly recommend if you’re looking to try something new and meaningful. 🖌️🖤

Excellent family experience - Great experience for our family of 6 including 3 children ages 9 and above. The teacher was fluent in English, very good at caligraphy and very patient. Excellent first attempt. We look forward to doing more caligraphy at home as a family.

A fun and exciting time to try one of Japan’s oldest traditions. - I had such a great time, I learned about kanji history and about calligraphy culture in Japan. They also showed me the basics of writing Japanese calligraphy and helped me to write many different things including my name and my husband’s name. The staff were so kind and helpful and I got to enjoy a handmade T-shirt too that will forever be a memory of my experience at WaPen. I highly recommend if you want to learn Japanese culture.
