Hello! I'm Yuki Fukushima Hladky, aka Master Kokin.

​

I was born left-handed and as an elementary school student in Japan struggled with my calligraphy.

​

So, I started studying with a calligraphy teacher when I was a second grader. She encouraged me to use my right hand to hold the brush.

​

I practiced once a week with her for 15 years, and in 1988 I was able to pass the exam for Master of Japanese Calligraphy certified by Gakushoin, Tokyo, Japan (www.gakusho.co.jp) and received my master name Kokin.

​

Every summer, I submitted a large calligraphy artwork to the National Students Calligraphy Exhibition and I received several awards.

​

After moving to New York in 1998, I started teaching calligraphy to children and adults and have continued to practice and teach in New York and Tokyo since then. And I started teaching online as well in 2020.

​

I truly love teaching Japanese Calligraphy in Japanese and English.

​

Let's enjoy Japanese Calligraphy together!

​

In addition to teaching, I offer these services:

   Shikishi Boards & Restaurant Menus made to order.

   Available for calligraphy demonstrations at public and private events.
