What you'll do

Beppu has its own fountain-pen inks, named after the colours of the place itself: Beppu Bay Blue, Steam Mist Blue, Ogiyama Green, Kannawa Sepia, Onsen-Flush Pink. BEPPU INK LAB is two hours spent painting a Beppu landscape onto a postcard with those inks and a glass dip pen.

【What you make】
An original postcard of Beppu, hand-coloured by you, framed and yours to carry home the same day.

【Three steps】\

  • Practice sheet — pick one colour, draw a line, dilute it with water and watch the tone change. First time with a glass pen is fine.\
  • One-colour study — choose one of four line drawings and fill it using only that colour. Nobody freezes in front of a blank page.\
  • The real thing — paint a Beppu landscape postcard in whatever colours you like.

    【How it runs】
    A navigator leads the session. This is not a class in technique; it is two hours of soaking in Beppu with your hands busy. Assistants move between seats, so ask whenever you get stuck.

    【Details】\
    • Around 2 hours\
    • 10-15 guests\
    • Included: 15 Beppu inks, a glass pen, paper and all tools; a drink; a light bite\
    • Bring nothing. Ink can splash, so clothes you do not mind marking are a good idea.\
    • Your work goes home framed. Only if you upgrade to a premium frame is there an extra 2,000 yen on the day.

      【No experience needed】
      In our past participant surveys, every guest aged 20 and above chose "I enjoyed it even though I am not good at drawing."

      Guided by Masumi Yamawaki (Zekkei Shoten). Navigator: Asami Tomari (ART LOT).

    Asami Tomari

    Representative of ART LOT and Art Director of BEPPU SOAK, overseeing all four sessions. BEPPU SOAK is not about painting well. It is two hours with your hands on something that belongs to Beppu: ink made in this city, washi paper, the steam over the rooftops. She builds each session with the local artists. A first-timer needs a first stroke that is easy to place, more than they need teaching.
