Experience the art and philosophy of Japanese calligraphy in this introductory workshop led by Shodō master Oskar Daitō Hellström.

As part of the East Asian and Finnish Cultural Week, this session offers a hands-on exploration of one of Japan’s most refined traditional arts, combining technique, mindfulness, and aesthetic expression.

Participants will learn the fundamental principles of Shodō, including brush handling, stroke techniques, and composition. Guided step by step, you will practice basic strokes and apply them to form complete characters.
