Follow the 4 standard steps to create your very own Kumano brush, with the handle customisable by engraving your name, resulting in a unique craft souvenir. On‑site, you can try writing with brushes made from different materials such as wolf hair, horse hair, and sheep wool, experiencing the differences in writing styles and the charm of traditional calligraphy. The itinerary also features calligraphy works by renowned artists like Munakata Shiko, allowing you to immerse yourself in the artistic atmosphere. There is a dedicated store on‑site where you can purchase high‑quality calligraphy supplies, professional makeup brushes, and other special souvenirs.
