WA-Project TAISHI practices votive calligraphy as part of their mission to spread the "WA Spirit" inspired by Prince Shotoku, and for the first time, they have decided to hold a training session that is open to the public. They aim to spread this art to more people, and by holding the event at YOLO BASE, the inbound work training facility for foreigners, they hope for the "WA Spirit" to reach a diverse group of people.

They began their activities in November 2014, to commemorate the origin of "WA Spirit," Prince Shotoku's Seventeen-article Constitution, being recorded in the Memory of the World register. In Kansai, they have carried out their activities at Osaka Castle, Shitennoji, Mount Koya, Mount Hiei, Nakayama-dera, Heian Shrine, Kashihara Shrine, and the Jewish Community of Kansai.
