Born in 1986, I faced a serious illness at the age of three, which initially inspired me to become a doctor. However, due to family circumstances, I had to give up pursuing medical school. Instead, I chose to heal not the body, but the mind. While working during the day, I studied science of mental well-being through a distance learning university.

 

From my teenage years, influenced by my father, a contemporary artist, I engaged in volunteer work in developing countries, including orphanages in the Philippines, Mother Teresa’s House in India, and the deserts of Mongolia.

 

Deeply interested in mindfulness and Zen, I have undergone temple training, waterfall meditation, and Vipassana meditation.

 

Living and working internationally (Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Monaco, New Zealand), I organize Japanese cultural and art events, teach the way of tea, model kimono, and share the art of wagashi-making. Through these activities, I am committed to preserving the spirit of harmony in Japanese culture and bridging Japan with the world in pursuit of peace.
