As I have been studying Japanese and also love Kanji I wanted to try this,experience. It was a very peaceful and relaxing experience, concentrating on the Shakyo to carefully copy it, while being in the beautiful environment of Shourinji temple. The view from the room is a beautiful garden. The tea and sweets at the end were really nice too and I felt so good afterwards. The lady who helped me was very friendly and helpful. The only negative was a lady and her young daughter who sat directly behind me after they finished theirs and whispered and giggled for about 10 minutes. Apart from that it was excellent and I would do it again.
