Kanji Name Animation Video – Transform Your Name into Kanji | Shodocafe7557 Tokyo

At Shodocafe7557, we are delighted to offer a special gift for our guests.
When you book our Japanese calligraphy experience, you will receive a personalized animation video of your name in kanji—completely free.

Kanji characters each carry deep meanings, history, and symbolism. By carefully selecting characters that represent both the sound and spirit of your name, we create a one-of-a-kind story just for you. Our team then brings this story to life through an elegant brush-style animation.

The finished video is perfect for sharing on social media, keeping as a memory of your trip to Japan, or as a thoughtful gift for family and friends. Many guests tell us it has become one of their most unforgettable souvenirs from Tokyo.
