The five senses writing mindfulness experience is
'Five Senses Calligraphy' is a unique style proposed by calligrapher Fukuji Ko, which encourages experiencing calligraphy through the five senses. Through the act of writing, it leads to a meditative time that allows one to deeply connect with oneself by richly perceiving the senses.
Instructor Introduction | Calligrapher Yukiyuki Fukuchi

Born in 1965 in Iga City, Mie Prefecture. Studied under Mr. Kakuo Inoue and Mr. Gakudo Ukishima. Received awards at the Yomiuri Calligraphy Exhibition and the Seichu Calligraphy Association Exhibition. Awarded the Japan Art Honorary Prize at the 2025 Art Expo in Paris and the 2025 Orsay International Art Prize. In the Iga region, their style of calligraphy is named "Gokan Sho" (Five Senses Calligraphy), and they have established a unique method that integrates their life experiences, studies in psychology, and the world of calligraphy. They continue to engage in activities that provide time for self-reflection during travel.
Flow of experience
Check-in starts at 15:00.
Experience starts at 15:30.
First, I will explain the mindfulness experience through writing. This is a preparatory time to accept the current situation as it is, through the medium of 'writing.' All the tools used in the experience are related to the regions of Mie and Iga. Upon your return, you will receive a gift of postcards or files made from Iga's traditional washi paper.
- Inkstone: Ogatsu inkstone
- Ink: Suzuka Ink (Traditional Craft Product)
- Brush: Kumano brush
- Paperweight: A work by the Iga ceramic artist, Mr. Jo Shin.
- Half paper: Inshu washi
- Postcard / Carry file: Ise washi "Bashō"

Practice of Breathing Techniques
I focus on myself through my breathing.

Open the five senses and enjoy the act of writing.
This is a time to face yourself, the space, and the arrangement of tools without looking at others.
You will write down your name, what you feel today from within, and words of gratitude.

Tea time
While enjoying tea from Iga Yukari (or herbal medicine and herbs), you will spend a relaxing time sharing your thoughts and experiences.
When you return, we will present you with a shinobigami as a souvenir.
The shinobigami is created by Mr. Fukuchi, and it is printed on handmade washi paper in business card size. Each one is infused with an original essential oil to match the nuances of the text. It is an item that you can discreetly keep in your wallet or planner, allowing you to casually enjoy the five senses.
