In Hamamatsu, our calligraphy (shuji) classes are held at community centers (kyodo centers and kominkan) in Chuo Ward — 西伝寺 (Saidenji), 高台 (Takadai), 富塚 (Tomitsuka), 白脇 (Shirowaki), 入野 (Irino), 葵東 (Aoi-higashi), 三方原 (Mikatahara), 鴨江西 (Kamoe-nishi), 西彦尾 (Nishi-hikoo), 伊佐見 (Isami), 海老塚 (Ebizuka), 広沢 (Hirosawa) and more — and in Hamana Ward — 中瀬 (Nakaze) and 北浜南 (Kitahama-minami). Many of our Hamamatsu classrooms use kyodo centers, so venues with parking are common — a feature of this area. Children learn both pencil handwriting (kohitsu) and brush calligraphy (mohitsu), and can also work on their school handwriting assignments.

Common questions in Hamamatsu

About our calligraphy classes in Hamamatsu

Where in Hamamatsu are the classrooms?

All across the city: the center — 鴨江西 (Kamoe-nishi), 海老塚 (Ebizuka), 広沢 (Hirosawa), 高台 (Takadai); the west — 入野 (Irino), 富塚 (Tomitsuka), 伊佐見 (Isami), 西彦尾 (Nishi-hikoo); the north — 三方原 (Mikatahara), 葵東 (Aoi-higashi); the east — 西伝寺 (Saidenji), 北浜南 (Kitahama-minami), 中瀬 (Nakaze); the south — 白脇 (Shirowaki); and more.

Should I look for a “shuji” (calligraphy practice) class or a “shodo” (calligraphy) class?

Kodomo School’s “kakikata shodo” class teaches both: pencil handwriting (kakikata / kohitsu) and brush calligraphy (shodo / mohitsu). Whether you are looking for a shuji, kakikata or shodo class, the same classroom covers all of them.

Can my child take soroban as well?

Yes. 三方原 (Mikatahara), 鴨江西 (Kamoe-nishi), 北浜南 (Kitahama-minami), 広沢 (Hirosawa) and 湖東 (Koto) also hold soroban classes at the same venue on different days of the week.

Calligraphy at Kodomo School

The power to write is the power to think.

Correct posture and stroke order, and tome, hane and harai (the stops, hooks and sweeps of each stroke). Children learn both brush writing and pencil handwriting, and the time spent carefully studying the model builds neat handwriting and a calm mind. They can also work on their school handwriting assignments. Brush-writing grade exams (kyu and dan) can be taken at the classroom they usually attend (there are no exams for pencil handwriting).
