I don't know any way to make vertical text in tkinter, but you can just make an image of the vertical text you want

1. Screen shot the text you want and crop it
2. Screen shot the background colour and crop it
3. In word or powerpoint or something, put the text over the background
4. Take another screenshot and crop that
5. Put that screen shot in paint
6. Save the paint file in the same folder as your program
7. convert the paint file to a gif online: http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-gif
8. Use the following code to put the image in your program

vertical_text = PhotoImage(file = ".gif") canvas.create_image(x, y, image = vertical_text)

Here is a screenshot from a tkinter window in a program I'm making which lets you revise words
