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.
Search, quest: 探求 (tankyu)
We are excited to announce our next Japanese Calligraphy workshop, which connects to this month’s theme, Quest for Meaning. In this session, we will explore the kanji 探求 (tankyu), meaning “search” or “quest.” This beautiful character embodies the pursuit of deeper understanding, whether it be knowledge, purpose, or truth. In Japanese culture, the concept of tankyu reflects a lifelong journey of discovery and self-improvement, rooted in a balance of curiosity and perseverance. During the workshop, participants will learn to write this kanji with traditional brushes and ink while reflecting on its cultural and philosophical significance. Join us for an inspiring evening of art, mindfulness, and the exploration of meaning through Japanese calligraphy!
This event is exclusively for LEVEL members. You can become a member, or alternatively, purchase a trial ticket below.
