Our Mission
Nurturing the power to create and to act, through art
GAJYUKU is an art school for children, founded in 2007 to nurture children's power to “create” and to “act” through art — a studio for painting, sculpture and hands-on making.
For children, creative activities such as drawing and making things are essential activities of the mind and body, vital to healthy growth.
We believe a child's rich sensibility and lively curiosity should not be narrowed by the internet or video games. We want to share with as many children as possible the joy of creating something with their own hands, and the experience of art itself.
We cherish each child's free imagination and discovery. Through the joy of “making,” and the happiness of giving shape to one's thoughts and feelings and conveying them to others, we aim to cultivate a “flexible mind” — one not bound by fixed ideas.

GAJYUKU Art School for Children
At GAJYUKU, we draw out and nurture each child's individual sensibility
At GAJYUKU, we treasure the individuality and imagination of every child. We believe the heart of learning through art lies in the discoveries, questions, fun and joy that arise during the creative process. By sharing what happens as they work, we hope children experience the joy of expression — something that reaches beyond simply drawing and making.
Our instructors are practising art specialists who, drawing on their own experience, hold the importance of the creative process as their guiding principle — nurturing each child's individuality and sensibility.
Whether drawing or making, what matters is not the finished piece, but the time spent creating.
Creative activity through art — its very process is filled with what truly matters.
※ Our staff receive regular training to maintain and improve the quality of teaching.
※ Classes are kept small and led by staff who specialise in art.
There's a reason it's so much fun
