This is a series of workshops designed by Azumi Uchitani to explore Japanese culture through the art of calligraphy and language. We will meet bi-weekly, slowly moving from season to season and uncovering new characters, rituals, concepts and beliefs deeply rooted in Japanese lifestyle. Each event we will centre around a new symbol: we will learn its meaning, discuss a poem about it, meditate and experience the power of the concept through calligraphy practice.
Calendar: 暦 (Koyomi)
We are excited to announce our next Japanese Calligraphy workshop, where we will explore the kanji 暦 (Koyomi), meaning “calendar.” In this session, we’ll delve into the fascinating structure of the Japanese calendar, including its numbers, months, and seasons. Beyond the basics, we’ll uncover a unique feature of the Japanese calendar: its deep connection to nature. Together, we’ll examine how the changing seasons and natural rhythms influence the way time is marked and celebrated in Japan. Join us to practice this beautiful kanji while gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural and natural harmony embedded in the Japanese perception of time. Let’s explore this artful fusion of tradition and nature!
