In the Spirit of Love and Peace — Inspired by Expo 2025

Have you been to Expo 2025 in Osaka yet? -Calligraphy in Osaka

I haven’t been there myself, but the more I hear from others, the more excited I get to go!

If you're currently in Osaka—or planning to visit soon—why not take a quiet moment to experience something truly Japanese?

A Peaceful Pause in the Middle of the Excitement

After enjoying all the colors and energy of the Expo, calligraphy offers a chance to slow down and breathe. Using just a brush, black ink, and white paper, you can reconnect with the present moment.

It's a simple yet powerful form of mindfulness.

Turn Your Memories into Art

With just black ink and white paper, you can express what moved you, what made you smile, or what you'll never forget from the Expo. Calligraphy can help you settle down after an exciting day, or let your passion flow freely onto the paper. Expressing strong emotions in a colorless world is surprisingly cool—and deeply personal. It's a unique way to take those memories home with you—a one-of-a-kind souvenir, unlike anything you’ll find in a shop.

A Glimpse into Japan's Past

Our cozy studio is not far from Namba or Tennoji. When you visit, you can also take a look at a real newspaper article from the 1970 Osaka Expo—kept safely in our family home.

We’d love to welcome you. Feel free to contact us by email—we’re looking forward to meeting you!.
