Mindful Japanese Writing Club
A quiet space to write mindfully, learn Japanese words, and discover the Japanese way of thinking.
こんにちは、いろはです。
Hi, I'm Iroha. In the Mindful Japanese Writing Club, I guide you through writing Japanese — not just the strokes, but the stories and the way of thinking behind the words.
As you might have seen in my Instagram posts, I write seasonal or uniquely Japanese words. Here in the Club, I go deeper — sharing
- their meanings,
- usages in different contexts,
- cultural backgrounds, and more.
If your first reason to be fascinated by Japanese is its unique way of thinking, then keep pursuing it. That's how you keep up your motivation for studying Japanese, I think.
I don't teach grammar as a main focus. Instead, I use my natural Japanese — always translated into English — in all my videos, audios, and posts. So please feel real Japanese in use, pick any words you like, and learn them in your own timing.
While slowing down and mindfully writing Japanese words by hand, let's learn the unique words and understand the Japanese way of thinking.
I'm hoping that it would enrich your life quietly.

"Iroha’s Mindful Japanese Writing Club is a gem of an online membership. I’m a beginner in learning the Japanese language and always felt behind when it came to writing Kanji. I didn’t understand how to draw the strokes correctly, and even when I tried, the results were never as good as the original version. Somehow there seemed to be a technique behind Japanese writing that I couldn’t fully grasp.
In the Mindful Japanese Writing Club, I first learned the different types of strokes and how to draw them correctly. After the first basic lessons, we are introduced to weekly words. Iroha-san mindfully chooses beautiful words related to the season, which makes the learning experience so enjoyable. After all the thorough preparation, writing felt surprisingly easy, whereas in the beginning I had struggled to write even a single word.
Every lesson felt like a meditation. Iroha-san begins each topic with a few mindful breaths and gentle guidance on how to sit correctly. Breathing and proper posture are important aspects of Japanese writing and made each lesson feel truly special.
I can highly recommend this membership and am already looking forward to attending future lessons with Iroha-san."
