(2 reviews)
My name is Tomohiro Oishi, and I am the owner of Atelier Sogeikan, which offers an Edo character-drawing experience in Sumida-ku, Tokyo. Edo characters were born in downtown Edo during the Edo period, and being born in downtown Edo means that they were born in Sumida, Koto, and Taito. In contrast to the samurai of the shogunate, who established the calligraphic style of ``Oie-ryu'' for the common people, the common people, that is, the ``painters'' of the time, had the meaning of wishing for prosperity in business and carrying the weight, while expressing a rebellious spirit. I created the Edo character on the spring.
Through the Edo character experience class, I would like to convey the spirit and rebellious spirit of the common people contained in the Edo characters, and I would like you to know that the characters were the wishes and thoughts of the Edo period. I would like everyone to try Edo characters, especially in the area where Edo characters were born.

| More info | Edo character experience (4 people or more) ☆ Learn from Sumida Meister certified by Sumida Ward "Edo character" experience! We will make a traditional craft "Edo letter" work at an experience workshop near Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree! Even if you are experiencing it for the first time, an experienced guide will kindly and politely tell you how to make it, so you can participate with confidence. First, start by drawing one kanji character of your choice on a piece of paper. I try to write the kanji as large as possible while considering the balance within the frame. Then make the letters bold. Challenge yourself until you think you can't make it any thicker. In addition, for foreigners who are trying kanji for the first time, we have prepared a special kanji card in advance. I'm finally starting to make it, but since the "chochin" and "white fan" are very delicate, I draw them on special paper while thinking about the layout. Of course, we will challenge two or three characters, and when we decide that we can do it, we will start making works. After lightly sketching with a pencil, use a brush to create your own style of Edo characters. It is also an experience to make a non-flat surface look like it is written on a flat surface. After entering the letters, enjoy coloring and painting until the time limit is full. [Things you can make] You can choose the work to be produced from either "paper lantern" or "white fan". You can also take home the completed work on the day. |

大石先生ご夫妻のお人柄にゾッコン🤩
茶道教室の恒例「夏の課外授業」として、日本文化に関わるアクティビティをネット上で探していて、大石先生の「江戸文字を書く」に出会いました。 まずチャットによる先生の来訪前の準備等に関するアドバイスも、とてもご親切！ 当日お教室では生徒さん達にも温かくお迎え頂き、大石先生からは白扇の上に映える演技良い「籠文字」を書くコツをとても丁寧に、そして楽しい蘊蓄や体験者エピソードも伺えました。奥様の優しく細やかなご配慮にも感激しました。 運気を盛り上げる漆文字の木札や根付のプレゼントも有難うございました。またここで江戸文化の深いお話、最高でした! 参加希望者も多いので、また体験訪問にお邪魔したいと思いますし、人にもお勧めしたいと思います。 引き続きどうぞ宜しくお願い申し上げます。

伝統技、なるほど〜江戸文字体験
10代前半の息子達と参加しました。大将、女将さんがとても面倒見が良くさらにユーモアがあり、終始笑って過ごしました。私や息子達のような初心者には途中でくじけそうになる瞬間がありましたが、大将が手直し、女将さんの愛のムチ的な励ましが入り(笑)乗り越えられます。仕上がった作品も想像以上です。本当に素晴らしい体験を得ることが出来ました。ありがとうございました♪
