Calligraphy The beauty and simplicity of Japanese calligraphy is a true eye-catcher. Megumi is able to translate a name and using a black brush-tip pen, write it onto a white/gold speckled card bookmarker (usual personalised gift) which is adorned with a short length of golden ribbon (the colour gold representing royalty, strength and wealth) and a red kanji stamp of her name (which means blessing). The meaning of the guests name is written onto the back of the bookmarker. For example, the name James means, nurturing a dream of prosperity. |

Zen Gardening A touch of the Orient with this stunning stylish new party and event activity where guests get to try their hand at the ancient Japanese art of ‘Zen gardens’. Beautifully presented with elegant equipment and setting this feature is fun, educational and easy to participate in whether at a hot hot party or the most sophisticated black tie reception. Zen gardens are as easy as raking sand and dropping in a few rocks, simply sand play for adults ! ... or maybe not. Its challenging to get it to look ‘right’ and a costumed ‘gardener’ is on hand to explain the meaning of all the patterns and positioning of rocks and stones as participants battle for the correct effect. It is the patterns evolving from the contemplative mind that provide the most serene lanscapes. Experiment meditate and enjoy |
