Syabutsu (写仏) is a centuries-old Buddhist practice of copying the image of a Buddha. Unlike a standard art class, the goal is not to create a masterpiece, but to find tranquility within yourself as you follow each line.

Upon arrival, we provide you with a specialized tracing sheet and writing tools. As you carefully trace the delicate features of the Buddha, you will notice your breathing slow down and your thoughts become clearer. This short but profound experience offers a rare opportunity to connect with Japanese spirituality in a very personal way. No special preparation is needed.
