I have also wrote a logo for us, which Miura san (founder of the shuujiya san) really liked. That is my first design for a Japanese entity.
Kanji in seal script, from top to bottom: 習字屋三
Etymology is quite interesting:
習 - two wings flapping together, which indicates repetition, plus mouth, merge both together and you'll have learning
字 kid under the roof, kanji are as complicated as kids, and there are also a tons of them about
屋 roof plus "come back and stay" - meaning a room, chamber
三 pictograph of three fingers
it is normally 習字屋さん but 三 stands for 3 "C"

Also kanji for Miura name are 三浦, which is why i thought it will be interesting this way.
