Japanese calligraphy is the essence of traditional Japanese culture. Why not try your hand at this art? “Shodo,” or Japanese calligraphy, is artistically written words that are written in a style that is both artistic and emotionally driven. The art of calligraphy was handed down from China during the 6th and 7th centuries, at which time the Japanese learned how to make brushes, ink, and paper. Soon after its introduction, it became an indispensable skill for educated nobles and samurai, the leaders of Japan. Over time, the appreciation spread to the general public. Now, it can be found not only as works of art but also in things such as New Year's cards and other special occasion writings. This art form is now a part of Japanese culture.

Among Japanese foods, soba is not as major as sushi. This is the reason why it is a favorite experience for connoisseurs. The satisfaction level is different as it is an authentic cooking activity class where water is added to the flour, kneaded and stretched, and a knife is used! Soba flour is made from the most delicious buckwheat flour in Japan, produced in Shinshu, where buckwheat is grown.

Kintsugi is a simple restoration technique that uses gold or other metal powder to repair broken, chipped, or cracked pieces. Kintsugi has been handed down in Japan from ancient times, and the culture of taking good care of things has attracted attention worldwide. Kintsugi lacquer comes from the poison oak tree or black tree of the poison ivy family. When dried, lacquer is a natural adhesive that is harmless to the human body and has a hardening effect. Cracks are considered a landscape in kintsugi, and the joint is decorated with gold, silver, or other metal powder. Kintsugi is based on not pretending that the cracks have never existed but considering them part of the item's history and breathing new life into it. In 2024, Master Taku is awarded with the Medal with Dark Blue Ribbon, the honorable commendation given to individuals who have made significant achievements in the fields of science, art, invention, improvement, and creation this year.

Feel the sword’s weight, focus on your target, and attempt your own cut under the master’s supervision. Discover how technique, rather than brute strength, helps the blade pass through the mat. Change into traditional training attire and learn grip, stance, and sword movement before your cutting attempt. Experience the precision and control of Japanese swordsmanship, with the traditions of iaido providing context. After your practice, watch the master’s demonstration up close with a new appreciation of his skill. Receive a certificate of completion as a souvenir.
