Japanese Calligraphy – ‘gratitude’

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.

Gratitude:   謝

Join us for our upcoming Japanese Calligraphy workshop where we will delve into the artistry of a new kanji: gratitude (謝). Explore the intricate strokes and profound meaning behind this character as we discuss its connection to the concept of cosmopolitanism. In this workshop, you will not only learn the traditional techniques of Japanese calligraphy but also explore how expressing gratitude transcends cultural boundaries and fosters a sense of global citizenship. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or new to the art, this workshop promises to deepen your understanding of both Japanese culture and the universal values it embodies.
