Order hand drawn Japanese greeting cards (winter version) for special occasions with Aya Burbanks
We all know this year’s festive season will be something special and perhaps quite different from the last year’s. Whether we celebrate in person or not, handing or sending a special greeting card would make such a impression!
Following popular sessions in summer, the artist Aya Burbanks has created 10 different designs with winter and 2022 – Year of the Tiger – themes especially for HYPER JAPAN fans. This is a great opportunity to order personalised hand drawn cards with messages of your choice (in Japanese or English), Kanji script or even with a first name translated in Japanese to send someone special or keep one for yourself?
In a friendly and 20min private Zoom session, you will discuss your preferences with HYPER JAPAN’s favourite workshop teacher/artist Aya Burbanks. She will host 6 private sessions over 2 days (3rd November and 17th November). Each card comes with an envelop and will be sent to your address afterwards. Please see details further below.
