About Us
Our Mission
Hikari Canvas Studio offers art education to learners in Japan and internationally. We provide instruction in artistic techniques through patient, structured teaching methods that respect both Japanese and international art traditions.
Our bilingual approach allows students to learn in their preferred language while exploring various artistic techniques. Our curriculum provides systematic pathways for skill development at multiple levels.
Our Approach
Our instructors combine artistic skills with teaching experience in online education. Live classes are scheduled according to Japan Standard Time for convenience of local and international students. Small group critique sessions provide individualized feedback, while our recorded lesson library supports self-paced study.
We work with local suppliers to provide curated art supply bundles. Our platform includes resources for watercolor, oil and acrylics, and drawing fundamentals.
