KANJI TOKYO Launches “Calligraphy Art Full Course” — Create Scrolls and Original Goods with Master MADARA
Hiratsuka, Chigasaki – Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Kura-Fort Inc. (CEO: Kohata Yoshinari) proudly announces the launch of a new cultural activity under its KANJI TOKYO brand: the “Calligraphy Art Full Course” — a unique hands-on experience where participants write a kanji character symbolizing good fortune and transform it into a beautiful scroll, tenugui (traditional cloth), tote bag, or T-shirt.
This exclusive program is led by professional calligrapher and ink artist MADARA, who personally guides guests through the expressive power of kanji and brushwork. Participants will not only complete their own calligraphy artwork, but also collaborate with MADARA’s signature colorful sumi-e (ink wash painting), creating a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
