Dec 2025: Creative Shodo Workshop
In the “Creative Shodo Workshop”, the focus is not on correct stroke order or traditional rules. Here, the brush is free to follow your heart.
This course places special emphasis on the movements of your inner self. As you express your thoughts and emotions through the brush, there is no right or wrong. Many participants say that by engaging with themselves during the workshop, they feel mentally clearer and emotionally liberated by the end.
New Collaborative Work with an Artist
The artworks of my dear Swiss friend, the artist Christina, are characterized by their gentle and warm atmosphere.
I had the pleasure of complementing her works with Japanese calligraphy.
Together, we created several variations, now available as strictly limited editions on my website.

22, 23 Sep 2025: Japanese Culture Festival in Zurich, Switzerland
At a recent event, I was invited to present a 30-minute shodō performance, which captivated many visitors. The 1×2 m artwork featuring the characters “Love,” “Dragon,” and “Flight” was purchased directly on-site — a moment that showed me that my words and energy truly reached the audience. Shodō performances create special moments that touch the atmosphere and the people present. For live calligraphy at events or promotions, I look forward to receiving your inquiry.

18 Apr 2025 : Japan Food Fest in Zurich, Switzerland
At a two-day event, I had the opportunity to run a shodō booth and create visitors’ desired words in Japanese kanji. The interest was high, and many people appreciated the personal and unique character of this art.
It was a pleasure for me to write each individual word with care and dedication.
Aug 2025 : Corporate Logo Design
August 2025: Corporate Logo Design I created a custom logo for a sushi restaurant. Through careful discussions about the concept and the restaurant’s wishes, as well as several rounds of collaboration, a one-of-a-kind logo was brought to life. This unique design combines hand-drawn calligraphy with illustration, preserving the Japanese atmosphere while clearly expressing the restaurant’s personality.
I would also be delighted to create a logo for your business or brand that highlights its distinctive character. Please feel free to contact me for a non-binding consultation.

NOV 2024: Weihnachtsmarkt in Goldach, Schweiz
This was my first time participating in a Christmas market, held a little outside the city center. Even so, I had the opportunity to experience how Japanese culture touches people of all ages—from small children to adults.
My works were chosen as Christmas gifts for families, birthday presents for friends, and as special keepsakes for oneself. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that the energy and thoughts I put into each piece will gently touch and heal the hearts of those who now have them.
