About Japanese Culture Specialists Aya Sensei & Chika Sensei

Aya and Chika moved to Brisbane Australia about 10 years ago.  We have had so many of our friends and family ask us many questions about Japan.  When they visit our homes friends always point out the Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) and Origami art we have on display.  We started Orizuru wanting to help out all those who have an interest in learning about Japanese language and culture. Our classes provide a fun environment where you can learn Japanese language and culture with plenty of laughs along the way. So why don’t you open the door to a different world and study with us!
