How to Join

Learn the true path of management. Seishinjuku New York welcomes new members.

Seishinjuku New York was organized under a new name from Seiwajuku New York. Seiwajuku New York was founded as the New York chapter of Seiwajuku, the school started in 1983 for young business owners to learn from Kazuo Inamori, chairman emeritus of Kyocera, how to live as a person (philosophy of life) and how to think as a business leader (management philosophy).

More than 11,000 members in 97 chapters across Japan, the United States, China, Brazil, Korea and Singapore studied earnestly under the slogan "Elevate your mind, expand your business," to apply Kazuo Inamori's teachings to their own lives and businesses (Seiwajuku was dissolved at the end of 2019).

Seiwajuku New York was founded in November 2003. When Seiwajuku itself was dissolved at the end of 2019, the New York group changed its name and became Seishinjuku New York in 2020. 36 members currently belong to the group. In addition to the monthly study meeting and member-led sessions, we hold lectures, seminars and joint U.S.–Japan study meetings. Members can also join study meetings and conventions held around the world and deepen their learning through exchange with members in other regions.

Who can join

As a rule, people aged 30 or older who want to learn and put their learning into practice with energy and commitment: business owners, heads of U.S. subsidiaries, and others in comparable management roles. (A short membership review applies.)

Monthly study meeting

Our monthly study meeting is held once a month from 7 p.m. (New York time), online or hybrid (in person and online). Please check the schedule for dates and format.
