Highlights

Learn about Suiboku-ga, a discipline under the Japanese ink painting art of Sumi-e. This technique incorporates mixing varying levels of water into ink to create texture and depth in the painting. Held within a Japanese teahouse and led by award-winning calligrapher and artist Rensui, this workshop starts off with an introduction to Suiboku-ga along with a live painting demonstration by Rensui. After this introduction, you will have hands-on experience brushing on the object you selected at booking and by the end of the workshop you will have created your own work of art to bring back home. A packet of green tea from the famous Uogashi Meicha teahouse in Tsukiji will also be provided to guests as an additional souvenir. You may have a chance to be taught be Rensui, who worked on the game Ghost of Yōtei!

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
