  • 19 lessons
Start the first lesson

Learn to write Japanese characters with real ink, real paper, and a steady hand — even if you never leave your desk.

Because typing kanji all day makes your hand forget how to make them — and shodō is the cure.

By the end

By the end, you will be able to hold a brush correctly, write the basic strokes of 永 and several kanji with confidence, and understand what makes Japanese calligraphy beautiful.

Who this is for

Adult learners at around JLPT N4 who want to slow down, feel the brush in their hand, and connect with Japanese writing as an art, not just a code.
