About this tour
Most Hokusai experiences in Tokyo are behind museum glass. Here you make one: you paint The Great Wave with traditional gansai pigments inside a restored 80-year-old wooden house in Kagurazaka, a quiet former geisha quarter of sloping lanes and small alleys.
Complete beginners are welcome. You start from a light pencil guide rather than a blank page, and your English-speaking instructor stays beside you through every step.
Families are welcome too. Children aged 6 and up paint at the same table as the adults, with crayons on hand alongside the brushes, and the instructor adjusts the level of detail so everyone finishes a piece they are proud of.
You leave the same day with your own A3 original — no shipping, no waiting — and free-flow soft drinks keep you going while you paint.
