Once again, Takayo-san's lesson was extremely informative and helpful. There are so many things that I have been taught here which would have taken so much longer to discover if I was only self studying. Today I was given clear explanations and examples of how to write 原 in block and cursive script. As well, as the teachers guidance, a helpful link was also sent.
As well as the lesson, I was also given good feedback, and some useful information regarding my upcoming visit to Japan with some shodo related places of interest.
This is a great place to deepen your knowledge and practical elements of shodo in a nicely paced relaxed manner. Always a pleasure!

Another very well given lesson by Takayo-san. Today I was given a very thorough lesson writing the character 林 in both block and cursive script. After being given clear examples of the way to write, I was guided to write using the model, and corrections were also clearly explained. Useful links, and suggested apps are also shared, and great feedback has always been much appreciated. Takayo-san's teaching style is very friendly and encouraging, and also a great place for me to practice my Japanese on top of the calligraphy.

Great lesson with Takayo-san who helped me write 水玉 today. As always I was given very clear examples and explanations to work from in both block script and cursive. On top of that the information regarding looking up kanji characters was interesting and helpful too (Japanese is so complicated :) )
Takayo-san has a very friendly, patient and generous way of teaching. Always a pleasure.

It was my first lesson for a while due to various reasons so I was very much out of practice. However, Takayo-san, as always delivered a great introduction to writing kana, providing clear demonstrations and explanations. I hadn't noticed the subtle differences in writing kana and kanji before. It was a very interesting and informative lesson.
For those of you thinking about learning calligraphy/shodo, Takayo-san i a very attentive, friendly and generous teacher who I highly recommend.

After my break with travel, it was really good to get back to a class here with Takayo-san.
Today we moved onto 2 characters (火山) where I discovered however simple it looks, there are challenges. The guidance and examples by the teacher are always thorough and extremely helpful.
As well as the practical side of shodo, there is also the good advice and information regarding the materials: paper, ink and brushes etc...I also appreciate the teachers patience with my level of Japanese :)
Always grateful! いつもありがとうございます！ -

These classes for me have been very special. Takayo-san has introduced me to so many aspects of Japanese calligraphy while helping me to use the little Japanese that I know. Combining language learning with a new art form has been really inspirational.
Takayo-san always shows up to the lessons with a great attitude, is easy to talk with (despite my language deficit), provides very useful material,examples, and exercises, and always gives really useful feedback.
I'm looking forward to more classes in the near future.
お疲れ様でした！いつもありがとうございいます！ -

A fantastic lesson again. I received some very useful fundamentals regarding writing the radicals in kaisho, and the correct placement, size and relationship to other strokes.
Takayo-san 's teaching is always well presented, and delivered with a lot of patience, generosity and friendly guidance.
A great place to be to learn shodo (and challenge yourself with Japanese if you like).

Ever grateful for Takayo-san's patience, intelligence, intuition and generous teachings. Today I tried to write 光, and was given clear examples and explanations. Although I'm insisting on the class being in a language that I hardly understand, Takayo-san really takes her time to make sure the lesson is being understood.
Excellent feedback was provided as always. I have plenty to practice again.

Takayo-san's lesson was great as always. During the class I was presented with cursive writing, and a good way to approach the paper before practicing. Although my writing is not satisfying for me, I know with the encouragement, excellent feedback and suggestions for improvement I can improve with these lessons. Takayo-san's patience and kindness are always appreciated.
いつもありがとうございました!!

I was struggling with a lack of energy today, but Takayo-san is really good at adjusting the tempo and contents of the lessons. We covered ten (点) strokes and continued to learn how to write 心 where I was given plenty of good tips and examples.
I'm always very grateful for Takayo-san's patience, generosity and skills as an artist and teacher. Can highly recommend lessons here.

My son used a ruler to draw bridges and tunnels. I was impressed by the perspective. Teacher David teach you each step of the process slowly. So even my son, who is a beginner, was able to draw.

Each week I've been introduced to the strokes and characters I'm ready for with plenty of clear explanations and practical examples. Takayo-san has been so patient with my Japanese and calligraphy level, and is a great help to guide me through the fundamentals of shodo in an encouraging manner. The classes are at a perfect pace, the feedback excellent, and once more I can say I am very grateful to be learning here.
いつもありがとうございます。
