Haiku and Calligraphy Workshop

A two-hour workshop learning haiku poetry and copying your own poem in Japanese calligraphy with brush and ink.

Participants learn about the background of haiku, the famous Japanese poetry form, and practise its methods and rules before writing their own haiku in English. Misako then translates each haiku into Japanese calligraphy, which participants copy onto beautiful paper using brush and ink and take home. The in-person session lasts two hours.
