Satomi Mizuta | Calligraphy & Kintsugi

I am Satomi Mizuta, a Japanese calligraphy and kintsugi artist based in Tokyo.

On this channel, I share my work in modern calligraphy, rooted in the elegance of Copperplate, together with Gothic lettering and traditional kintsugi, the Japanese craft of repairing broken ceramics with natural urushi lacquer and gold.

Each video follows the real creative process: addressing envelopes with a pointed pen, creating artwork, or restoring pottery using traditional materials.

Calligraphy and kintsugi may seem different, but they share the same philosophy. Both celebrate time, careful practice, and the beauty that emerges through imperfection. A handwritten word and a repaired vessel can each tell a meaningful story.

I hope these videos inspire anyone who loves calligraphy, hand lettering, slow art, or the simple satisfaction of making something by hand.

From my atelier in western Tokyo, I share the beauty of calligraphy and traditional kintsugi through new videos in English.
