I am a master of Japanese calligraphy with 45 years of experience. I hold the highest rank of "Shihan" and have taught to foreign visitors for over a decade. I'm also the founder and CEO of the educational organization called NPO-LESA.
About the organization: NPO-LESA
For the past 12 years we have been providing study materials, warm clothes, school scholarships and medical health checking to 500 children in Vietnam who suffer from AIDS or are in very difficult circumstances. Airbnb does not charge any commissions from your attending fee. Your attending fee would be 100% raised up as donations for Vietnamese very poor children. This is a 100% charity workshop.
This is a social impact experience where 100% of what you pay for this experience goes to NPO-LESA.
Where you'll be
Located just central Tokyo area near Tokyo Tower. One minute walk from Kamiya-cho station on Hibiya-line, subway. When you come out from Exit #3 at Kamiya-cho st., turn left and 50m, 46yrd to our building. NPO room is #405 on the 4F and your classroom. You can see 'Doutor' coffee shop on the ground floor.

What if you pay for one but get more than two!?
I paid to learn Calligraphy but what I got was tripled. How to behave politely in Japanese way as well as “be kind to one another”.
It was such a great experience in Japan and wish to attend more of the Master’s classes.
Master Tenshin possesses a deep knowledge and admirable skills in Shodo - Japanese Calligraphy.
My pleasure to know him and be his student.
A must-attend activity in Tokyo for those who love to understand a part of Japanese culture.
I highly recommend it!!

What an extraordinary experience! We had a wonderful afternoon and got many insights into Japanese culture and shodo. Tenshin-sensei is a true master of his art! We loved the surprise he gave us and the fact that 100% of the revenue from the class is donated to his NGO in Vietnam :) Highly recommended experience!
