KANJI TOKYO is an art brand that brings the timeless beauty of Japanese calligraphy into the modern world. Led by calligrapher MADARA, the brand introduces “Hisseki-jutsu,” a calligraphic method that channels prayer, life energy, and love through every brushstroke.
We will create a one-of-a-kind piece of calligraphy as a memento of your visit to Japan.
We will convert your English name or a word you like into “kanji” and turn it into an art panel, a hanging scroll, or a hand towel. We will create a one-of-a-kind piece of work and deliver it to the counter at your hotel.
KANJI TOKYO also exhibits and sells works created by calligraphy artist Madara.
Madara’s works are rooted in his life experiences and a deep emotional strength. After beginning calligraphy at a young age and overcoming profound loss in the 2011 earthquake, he resumed his creative path. His works embody this journey and spirit.
We are holding a calligraphy workshop in Hiratsuka for people from overseas who love Japanese culture.
Calligraphy artist Madara will transform your English name into beautiful kanji characters and create them into hanging scrolls or T-shirts using his “Hisseki-jutsu calligraphy” skills. These works, which are imbued with the power to bring good fortune, make perfect souvenirs or gifts, and can also be enjoyed as part of sightseeing in Shonan and Hiratsuka.
We create data with optimal specifications for prints of calligraphy works, videos, and animations (for production delivery).
MADARA’s calligraphy works are available for animation, film, music videos, print design, and commercial use. Each piece is captured and color-corrected in high resolution to preserve the unique texture and depth of Japanese ink.
At KANJI TOKYO, calligraphy artist Madara carefully creates each and every piece of custom-made calligraphy art.
Using Madara’s unique “Hisseki-jutsu calligraphy,” we transform your name, motto, or company message into powerful kanji characters, giving form to the feelings and power of good fortune that are embodied in the words. This is a special, one-of-a-kind piece of art that is perfect not only for framing and displaying, but also as a gift.

He is the only Hisseki-jutsu calligrapher in Japan.Since the age of five, MADARA has studied calligraphy and developed his own unique style that incorporates Hisseki-jutsu. He has created approximately 800,000 pieces including naming calligraphy and sumi-e paintings. Currently, he continues to create art focused on names and meaningful words under KANJI TOKYO.
Handwriting reflects one’s personality and psychology, and there is a field called graphology that analyzes this. Hisseki-jutsu is a technique where the way of writing characters is intentionally changed to bring oneself closer to their ideal self and improve their luck.
Originating from the tradition of sutra copying, Japanese calligraphy is still cherished today as a way to calm the mind and as a form of art. The lines and spaces embody Japanese aesthetics, and the practice continues to be learned and appreciated by many.
