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.
Destiny: 運命 (Unmei)
This time, our Japanese Calligraphy workshop will focus on the profound kanji 運命 (Unmei)—meaning “fate” or “destiny.” In Japanese culture, 運命 (Unmei) reflects the belief that an unseen force guides life’s events, shaping love, success, and even moments of tragedy. This concept appears in literature, poetry, and everyday conversation, where people describe encounters, relationships, and turning points as if they were always meant to happen. Is it chance, or is it fate? The beauty of Unmei lies in its dual nature—it can suggest a predetermined path but also invites us to embrace life’s uncertainties with trust and acceptance. Reserve your spot now and explore the beauty of Unmei through calligraphy!
