Stone Seal Carving Workshop in Kyoto
Discover the traditional art of Japanese stone seal carving, known as tenkoku, and create your very own personalized seal in Kyoto. At Malligraphy, you will learn how stone seals have been used in Japanese calligraphy and art, then choose a Japanese character, your name, or a meaningful word for your design. With guidance from our instructor, you will carve your design into a small stone and create your own original seal. Once your seal is finished, you can try stamping it on paper and see how your design comes to life. Your handmade stone seal and a special box are yours to take home, making them a unique souvenir of your time in Kyoto. The workshop takes place in our quiet, Japanese-style one-story studio located right next to Chion-in’s Shinmon Gate. Take a break from sightseeing and enjoy a peaceful, creative experience in Kyoto. No previous experience is required. All tools and materials are provided, and aprons are available to help protect your clothes from ink and dust.
