About KANJI TOKYO: A special art experience that blends tradition and modernity.

Have you heard of “Shodo”? “Shodo” is written in Japanese as “書道”, meaning “the way of writing”, and refers to Traditional Japanese Calligraphy.

KANJI TOKYO is a new type of apparel brand that combines the Traditional Japanese Calligraphy ‘Shodo’ with modern design techniques. We translate your name into beautiful Japanese kanji and deliver it as one-of-a-kind custom-made T-shirts and original goods.

The mastery of the Shodo artist（Traditional Japanese Calligraphy artist) ‘Madara’.

Each KANJI TOKYO item is handwritten with care and attention by Shodo artist ‘Madara’. Madara is an artist who specialises in designs that incorporate a sense of contemporary art while inheriting Traditional Japanese Calligraphy techniques. He not only writes names and words beautifully, but also draws them as ‘works of art’ with meaning and individuality in each character.

In addition to calligraphy, Ikara also creates original design drawings in Japanese ink painting. This adds a creative essence to the finished T-shirts and goods that goes beyond the boundaries of calligraphy and gives them a one-of-a-kind finish.

Create your own art through the experience of Shodo(Traditional Japanese Calligraphy).
