Japanese Calligraphy - 'hobby'

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.

Hobby: 趣味

We’re delighted to announce our upcoming Japanese calligraphy session, where we will explore the kanji 趣味 (Shumi), which means “hobby.” This character is composed of two meaningful parts: 趣 (omomuki/ shu), which refers to something that sparks curiosity or enjoyment and embodies a subtle, refined beauty or charm often associated with cultural and aesthetic appreciation, and 味 (aji/ mi), which means taste or flavour but symbolises the unique quality, essence, or enjoyment that something holds. In this workshop, participants will practice writing this kanji with traditional ink and brushes while learning about its significance and connection to finding joy in one’s pursuits. Join us for an enriching experience that combines art, culture, and the celebration of personal interests.
