About Your Instructor

We are so excited to invite Junko Azukawa to host and teach in our live streaming workshop. Junko Sensei is renowned for her Sumi Painting and Japanese Calligraphy. We fell in love with her work the first time we saw it. She started learning traditional Japanese calligraphy - Shodo at the age of five and has experienced the vast possibilities that calligraphy and Japanese ink painting - Sumie can express with just simple monotone brush strokes.
