If you are a foreigner living in Japan and would like to study Japanese, Spanish or Italian, please contact us. Of course, Japanese students are also welcome. I have lived in Italy and Spain for a total of 18 years, and have returned to live in Japan since 2024. In Spain, I taught Japanese to Spaniards for 10 years. I am currently still teaching online. In Tokyo, I teach Spanish and Italian to Japanese students. I will teach you carefully according to your level. Let's study together and discover the culture!
Learn to draw by observing the world around you. In these classes we will explore drawing from life: people, places and everyday scenes. We can work from real objects, photographs, or illustrations. If you're interested in manga, ink drawing, or ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodblock prints), we can also explore that style. If you have something you'd like to draw, you can bring it to class. If not, we will use reference materials that I have prepared. No prior experience is necessary. Beginners are welcome. You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or also on a tablet if you prefer to work digitally. The classes are adapted to your level and your interests. I am currently based in Tokyo and offer in-person classes in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki, as well as online classes. If you wish, we can also go outside and draw together while observing the city.

I've had now several classes with Takayuki and I'm really having a good time. We're discussing the understanding and principles behind drawing while actually drawing and learning on the go. The classes are seamless and very relaxing.
