There is also a beautiful Japanese legend about rabbits living on the moon, which is why rabbit imagery is often associated with Tsukimi. 🐇🌕Beyond the traditions themselves, Tsukimi reflects a beautiful aspect of Japanese culture: taking a moment to appreciate nature, the changing seasons and the present moment.🧘 Mindfulness & Focus on the momentTogether with Tiffany, our certified mindfulness instructor, you’ll be guided through a relaxing mindfulness experience inspired by the peaceful atmosphere of a Japanese autumn evening.Take some time to focus on your breathing, become more aware of the present moment and step away from the busyness of everyday life.🖌️ Japanese CalligraphyMare, a certified Japanese calligraphy instructor, will then introduce you to Japanese characters, calligraphy and the seasonal culture behind Tsukimi.Using traditional Japanese brushes and ink, you’ll have the opportunity to practise calligraphy and create your own piece of artwork inspired by the moon and the autumn season.This gives you the chance to experience Japanese culture not only by learning about it, but also by slowing down, picking up a brush and creating something yourself.🍡 A Taste of JapanTo complete the experience, we’ll also enjoy a traditional Japanese sweet treat, mochi, together. 🍡This workshop brings together Japanese seasonal culture, mindfulness, calligraphy and Japanese sweets in one relaxing experience.Whether you’re completely new to mindfulness and meditation, have never tried Japanese calligraphy before, or simply want to experience something a little different, everyone is warmly welcome.Take a breath.Slow down.Pick up your brush.And enjoy a little moment of Tsukimi with us. 🌕🐇Event DetailsDate: Saturday, October 31Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PMLocation: Hampton Hotel Fountainbridge Lobby, EdinburghDuration: 100-minute workshop + 20-minute enjoying food and writing reviewInstructors:Mare / Wayfarer Shodo Edinburgh (Licensed calligrapher from Japan)Tiffany (Mindfulness Instructor)Maximum Capacity: 12 participantsWorkshop FlowIce breaking and introduction to the theme (10–15 mins)Grinding ink to calm the mind and prepare for calligraphy practice (10 mins)Introduction to brush handling & basic writing techniques (5 mins)Practice session (30 mins)Short break (5 mins)Create your final artwork on official calligraphy paper (30 mins)Enjoy a special Japanese snack mochi, take photos, post social media and write a review (25 mins)What You Will LearnBasic Japanese calligraphy brush techniquesHow to prepare traditional Japanese inkThe cultural meaning of Tsukimi in JapanCreating your own seasonal Japanese artworkIncludedAll calligraphy materialsOfficial Japanese calligraphy paperGuidance throughout the workshopYour completed artwork to take homeA special Japanese snack mochi included in your ticketWho Can Join?All agesBeginners welcomeSuitable for anyone interested in Japanese culture, art, mindfulness, or creative experiencesNotesPlease arrive 10–15 minutes before the workshop starts.Comfortable clothing is recommended as ink may stain.Testimonial from previous workshop participants"Excellent — the workshop was a highly worthwhile experience.
