Let us work with you to develop a calligraphy package that suits your unique needs. We'll help you custom design the perfect gift for any occasion. We also design calligraphy for yoga studios, restaurant or office interiors, martial arts certificates, tattoos and even surfboards. Take a look at a few of our custom projects for some creative ideas and note the many ways people use calligraphy to express something personally meaningful.
Standard Custom $150
Like our Perfect Gift calligraphies, our Standard Custom calligraphies are drawn on traditional Japanese calligraphy boards, called shikishi. Shikishi is a rice paper board, typically edged with a fine strip of gold paper. The shikishi board slips into an elegant shikishi frame, matted with a customary gilt floral pattern. The materials we use for our Standard Custom package are much larger than those we use for our Perfect Gift Package. The shikishi board is appx. 9-1/2 inches by 10-3/4 inches, and the shikishi frame is appx. 13-1/4 inches by 15-1/4 inches.
EXAMPLE 1: Meiso (Meditation)

This calligraphy exudes tranquility. It was made for a yoga/meditation room.
EXAMPLE 2: "Living with cats is addicting."

Original illustration and phrase. Special ordered for a cat lover friend.
Special Custom $250
These Special Custom pieces were drawn on delicate rice paper embellished with a subtle gold floral and leaf design. When the calligraphy brush with sumi ink touches the lightweight paper, it causes a slight wrinkling effect as you can detect in the pieces below. Our Special Custom calligraphies are framed in handsome 12-inch by 16-inch wooden frames with high-quality acid free matting.
EXAMPLE 1: Lenny

This design was a special gift from a martial arts student to her master. It is a phonetic Kanji representation of the name "Lenny". "Le" means gratitude, politeness and respect; "Ni" is sincerity and compassion.
EXAMPLE 2: Susie

This phonetic rendition of the name Susie was designed as a personal gift for a close friend. The kanji "Su" means precious. "Ji" is nourishing or cherishing. Doesn't it sound like a perfect description of Susie?
EXAMPLE 3: Seaside, OR

Roman alphabets can be rendered in this type of calligraphy as well. This was a house warming gift to a friend who bought a house in the city of Seaside, OR.

The poem says:

I will go watch the whales
in the quaint town by the sea
