Developed by court nobles during the Heian period for writing letters and poetry, kana script is admired for its flowing lines and the refined beauty of its spacing, which brings a sense of calm to observers. This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for those curious about kana calligraphy but concerned it might be difficult, offering an easy and approachable way to try it out. Participants will explore the world of kana using poems from the beloved anthology, Hyakunin Isshu, cherished for over a thousand years. See the website for more details.
