Japanese uses three separate alphabets, Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Through calligraphy, let’s learn and feel Japanese letters, words, and culture.
The schedule and fees for the 2026–27 school year will be posted later this spring. Calligraphy registration will open to continuing and VJLS students in June 2026, and to new students in July 2026.
For current-year enrollment, please contact the instructor, Junko Fuchioka (j.fuchioka@vjls-jh.com).
