We provide premium interactive entertainment by crafting unique works of Japanese calligraphy art here in Miami Beach, FL that we're sure will make you smile!

Performance & Interaction
For Special Ocassions

Our custom-made and individually tailored works of Japanese calligraphy art bridge live entertainment with guest interaction that culminates in a one of a kind keepsake to bring home or present to a loved one. We specialize and have experience in a wide variety of events that range from corporate outings and product launches, to restaurant openings and holiday celebrations! Take a look at our gallery and event pages to see what we do!

Japan Meets Miami
Bright, colorful and fun combinations in harmony with the cultural depth and respect of historical Japanese calligraphy is our hallmark. We take the practice of shodo, steeped in thousands of years of tradition, handed down through countless generations and breathe new life into it with eccentric, passionate colors inspired by the other-worldly cultures of Miami and the Caribbean!
With A Dark Side
Our current area of specialization and experimentation is in the exciting field of black-light reactive paint. As you can see in many of our photos and galleries, we make it a priority to brighten pieces so much, that you need darkness to view its true beauty. This goes hand-in-hand with many of our resident nightlife experiences where we fill the space with beautiful bright art!

One Of A Kind,
Every Time

Our specialty interprets guest's names phonetically into Japanese using mainly the Kanji alphabet, which is comprised of more than 10,000 characters, each representing a singular concept or idea. In this way, Kei carefully chooses from this vast reservoir of knowledge for each syllable of every name, to define, represent and respect each individual's traits, personality and character. As you can see from our artwork, we then incorporate bright, happy and fun colors and designs, of guest preference, to further match the piece to who we're making the artwork for.
