The Club’s teaching

Japanese lessons Starting at the beginning of October and finishing in late June, there are 45 hours of class divided in 30 lessons. They are taught by graduate Japanese. The teaching is about writing (Hiragana and Katakana), ideograms or Kanji, grammar and conversation.

Ikebana lessons Ikebana is a floral art, the Japanese word meaning giving life back to flowers. It is in a very serene atmosphere that the flowers are aesthetically arranged. Ikebana is mostly practiced as a way to relax in Japan.

Japanese cooking It is above all, even before a trip for the taste, a work of art where shapes and colors are harmoniously balanced and that are an enchantment for the sight before the taste. Learn how to cook Nori-maki, Sushi and other traditional Japanese meals.
