Meet Reiko Oyama: A Japanese Calligraphy Virtuoso
Reiko Oyama grew up in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, in a family of calligraphers that spans three generations. She started learning calligraphy as a child, inspired by her talented parents. For the past 50 years, Reiko has dedicated her life to mastering and teaching this incredible art.

Reiko isn’t just a calligrapher. In 1989, she founded Arc Design Co., Ltd., and has worked on designing stores, offices, homes, hospitals, and even hotels. She was the interior designer for the Yuasa Merchandise Museum in Kamakura, now an important cultural property.
