Community Events at Aozora - Open to All!

Celebrate the Japanese tradition of Kakizome, the first calligraphy of the year, with Taisan-sensei! Join us for a hands-on experience as we learn to write meaningful kanji and phrases that set intentions for the year ahead. Whether you’re a beginner or have some calligraphy experience, Taisan-sensei will guide everyone with care and inspiration.

This event is perfect for anyone who loves Japanese culture, art, and mindful practices. Leave with your own beautifully written pieces and a sense of calm and creativity to carry into the new year.
