About Us

Hi, I'm Yoshi.
Thank you for visiting Interior Calligraphy.

I'm a Japanese Judoka and hold a black belt in Judo. I still enjoy practicing every Saturday at my local dojo.

As a Judoka, I have always been inspired by the spirit of Budo and Japanese culture. I founded Interior Calligraphy because I wanted to share that spirit with martial artists around the world through authentic Kakemono Scrolls.

To me, a Kakemono Scroll is more than art. It is a Silent Teacher that quietly reminds us every day of courage, discipline, respect, harmony, and continuous self improvement.

To bring this vision to life, I work with a team of highly skilled Japanese calligraphers, each with more than 30 years of experience. Together, we create a wide variety of styles, from powerful martial arts calligraphy and traditional Shodo to artistic and modern expressions. Today, we receive both regular and custom orders from martial artists and dojos around the world.

I hope one of our Kakemono Scrolls will become your own Silent Teacher, inspiring you for decades to come.

More Than Art.
It's Spirit.

Thank you very much!

Hi, I’m Mai. I began practicing Japanese calligraphy (Shodo) when I was five years old, and I opened my own calligraphy school at the age of twenty. Since then, I have dedicated myself to teaching Shodo and exploring the expressive power of brush and ink.

For me, Japanese calligraphy is more than writing characters. It is a way to cultivate the spirit and to connect with centuries of tradition. The subtle fragrance of sumi ink, the soft resistance of the brush gliding over washi paper, and the quiet focus required to complete each stroke all create an experience of deep mindfulness. In many ways, this practice shares the same values as Japanese martial arts — a discipline of respect, precision, and harmony.

I feel grateful every day for the skilled artisans in Japan who produce the materials essential to Shodo: the handmade ink, brushes, paper, and scroll mountings. Thanks to their devotion, I am able to create works that carry the spirit of authentic Japanese craftsmanship.

My wish is simple: to touch someone’s heart through each character I create, and to share the timeless beauty of Japanese traditional art with people around the world.
