Kanji and Hiragana characters hold a unique mystique for many foreigners. At Motenas Japan, we offer a dynamic calligraphy experience set to live music that complements the brushstrokes. Our performances showcase the elegance of Japanese characters, with large, dynamic letters drawn on floors and walls.

Our Commitment to the Calligraphy Experience at Motenas Japan
01 Team Building Through Calligraphy
Calligraphy can be enjoyed not only as an individual activity but also as a tool for team building. One unique approach we offer is “team building through calligraphy.” Participants are divided into groups of six or seven, with each member adding a stroke to complete a single character. The outcome varies for each team, making it a fun and engaging experience for everyone.
02 Learn the History from a Master Calligrapher
Participants can learn the essence of calligraphy from a professional who has mastered the art. Whether it’s your first time or you have some experience, you will enjoy learning about “posture,” “brush handling,” and other essential elements of calligraphy in this immersive Calligraphy Experience.
03 Personalized Gifts: Fans and Shikishi with Your Name
For our international guests, we create Kanji characters using phonetic matches to their English names and write them on fans or Shikishi (decorative paper). This is a popular option for Japanese guests as well, and we customize the calligraphy based on each request. These personalized gifts, including items like mugs, make for a unique and memorable souvenir from your Calligraphy Experience.

Case1
Team Building Through Calligraphy
As part of a corporate team-building event, participants experienced our Calligraphy Experience. Teams of six or seven worked together to create a single character on a sheet of Japanese paper. While calligraphy is often seen as a solitary activity, Motenas Japan offers this unique team-building method to enhance both learning and enjoyment for our clients.

Calligraphy Performance
Separate from our Calligraphy Experience, we also offer performances by a master calligrapher as an entertainment option. Guests can enjoy this unique art form during receptions or standing dinners, adding a cultural touch to any event.
