“I just took a Japanese calligraphy workshop with Wa No Ma, which was a great experience. It wasn’t just about writing characters — it felt like a quiet meditation, learning to breathe and move with the brush. Wa No Ma was kind and patient, explaining the meaning behind each stroke and the Japanese language. I’m really proud of what I created — a piece that symbolizes happiness and connection. I highly recommend it—it's a great experience, and you get an OOAK souvenir to take back home!”
