Hello. Here is my self-introduction in case you are curious!
I was born in Osaka, and majored in French studies at Sophia University in Tokyo. After working as an editor for a major publishing house, I set up my own business as a writer and translator. I currently live in London, UK.
Art, culture and languages have always been central to my life and career. I translated and edited the Louvre's exhibit descriptions and a German music encyclopaedia into Japanese. I also published the first Japanese book on Indonesian cuisine and worked on many other Japanese books, magazines, and websites.
In addition to English and French, I studied Indonesian, Italian, German, and Mandarin Chinese. Learning multiple foreign languages immensely helped me understand different cultures at a deeper level.
I am a traveller. I have visited 50 countries around the world, learning about their cultures from locals and making many friends and colleagues. My journey of exploration continues to this day.
On Medium, I share my experiences and insights about the art and culture of various countries. I have listed all my Boosted stories on Medium below so you will see what type of writer I am.
Also, in July 2024, I started a publication, now called 'Found Worlds' focusing on arts, cultures, travels and languages working with other fantastic writers.
