Purpose

When I thought about what it means to live a life without regrets, I realized that I wanted to travel the world and experience the cultures of various countries.

I believe there are others who have such goal in life.

I started this blog to convey the unique and beautiful traditions and culture of this island nation, Japan for such people.

Background

Born and raised in Japan, I spent my childhood in Yamagata and lived in Kyoto for four years during university.

I then spent eight years in Tokyo and now live in Yamagata with my husband, who is from Hokkaido, and our three-year-old daughter.

In university, I majored in Psychology in the Faculty of Human Cultures, studying the evolution of human culture and human psychology.

My previous job was as a researcher at a market research company. After that, I found my way into a bio-venture company, where I currently support basic research conducted by researchers around the world.

My curiosity about human culture is the driving force behind my activities.
