The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū.

The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014.

In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

**Paper Stories: Folk Tales in Papercut** Complementary to our February watercolour workshop on illustrating folk stories, this workshop explores the same mythic terrain through paper cutting. **Drawing inspiration from European folk tales and the intricate paper cuts of Hans Christian Andersen**, we’ll work with silhouette, repetition, and negative space to create narrative images using only paper and a blade. Across two sessions, **participants will experiment with folding, layering, and cutting techniques to translate forests, figures, and symbolic motifs into graphic, tactile compositions**. Starting with simple silhouette exercises, we’ll treat the scissors as a drawing tool. Step by step, we’ll add complexity, exploring rhythm, repetition, and the role of empty space. In the final session, we’ll develop small compositions that unfold a story through cut paper. * Open to all levels. No previous experience needed. * All materials included (black and white papers, colour and textured papers, scissors, glue, cutters and more). * Bring any extra material that you would like to experiment with (eg. old envelopes, painted papers, etc) **Wednesday 11 – 18 February** from 6:00 to 8 PM Join us for the whole course or for singles classes! **In Friedrichshain**, Berlin (exact address by e-mail) **Price:** * **65€** for the entire workshop (2 classes) * **35€** per single class * *Special discount for regular students: 60€/30€* * Payment via **PayPal / Bank transfer** ### **To book:** Email: **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com** You’ll receive the payment details and the exact address upon confirmation. 🎟️ **Spaces are limited.** Important: RSVPing here doesn't guarantee a spot (sometimes the group is already full; please get in touch!)
