Every partner we work with

These are the schools, dojos and studios that took a chance on us before we had a single booking. None of them did it lightly: a Japanese nursery will not put its name beside a foreign company it hasn't satisfied itself about, and nor will a dojo or a calligraphy teacher. We've been asked for our company registration, our contract, our insurance position and how we handle children's data; some took weeks over it. Thirty-two of them have now run that check on us, in their own language and under their own law.

We would rather you checked them than took our word for it — most have their own website, map and Instagram below. Ages run from a few months to 18 — and where there's a kiln or a blade, the studio sets its own floor.
