Join Shoko Harada (a Japanese calligraphy artist and designer) in this workshop to customize your very own traditional Japanese "wish doll", or Daruma. You'll learn “Wa-modern calligraphy,” a unique style created by Shoko Harada that is inspired by Japanese writing and blends both Japanese and Western aesthetics in an expressive way. You will choose a word or phrase that is meaningful to you, and Shoko will guide you step by step in creating your design. You'll learn how to use a traditional Japanese brush, practice lettering, and then bring your design to life by writing it on your own Daruma. To complete your wish request, you'll paint in the Daruma’s left eye as a symbol of your wish or intention.
