We are thankful to everyone who joined us for the ‘Create Your 2025: New Year Japanese Calligraphy Workshop’ with the wonderful artist, educator, and writer Azumi Uchitani. Hosted in collaboration with ElectroRoute, this unique event was an inspiring way to welcome the new year with creativity, mindfulness, and intention.

.

.

This special workshop guided participants through the art of Japanese calligraphy, blending meditation and mindful practice to align body, mind, and spirit. Under Azumi’s expert instruction, we explored the theme of NAGARE (流) – FLOW, creating a Kanji symbol together to serve as an anchor for the year ahead.

.

Through a beautifully structured session, participants:

• Engaged in guided meditation to center themselves.
• Practiced posture correction and warm-up exercises to master brush strokes with flow and precision.
• Created their Kanji symbol and crafted their final piece on exquisite handcrafted cotton paper, making a lasting visual representation of their 2025 intentions.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants for bringing their energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to this experience and we hope that your Kanji symbol serves as a meaningful reminder throughout the year.

A special thank you to Azumi Uchitani for her wisdom, guidance, and signature method, making this workshop accessible and enriching for all. Her ability to blend tradition with personal expression left a lasting impression on everyone present.

.

Finally, our thanks goes to ElectroRoute team for their incredible support in making this event a success and being fantastic hosts as always.

.

We look forward to welcoming you to more events this year that encourage self-expression, growth, and connection.
