Experiencia de caligrafía samurái en Osaka

Man, this was the best thing I've done in Osaka out of 6 visits to the city. The vibe of Samurai Honor is truly special—the word 空 is written on the wall, and the owner and the teacher really do a great job of living up to that ideal. I don't remember the last time I've been around other people for so long period of time without the silence getting weird or uncomfortable. It was just really natural, peaceful, and focusing...like all of the noise of the city was left at the door while I focused on each stroke. They're really great people, took lots of pictures, and gave me more than my fair of chances at practicing shodo!

This one hour calligraphy experience was one of the highlights of our trip. We were not only introduced to this artistic and unique art form, but learned how to wear traditional kimono and hakama in an authentic environment. A must do when visiting Osaka.
