About the Author of This Blog
I’m a native Japanese born and raised in a small rural town in the Tohoku region. Growing up, I always dreamed of the world beyond Japan and eventually ventured abroad to immerse myself in different cultures. However, through those experiences, I gained a deeper appreciation for my roots and the profound beauty of Japanese traditions and culture.
In this blog, I aim to share insights into Japan’s rich heritage through the unique lens of someone with a rural upbringing. Beyond surface-level information, I delve into the subtle nuances and perspectives that only a Japanese person can truly understand. From timeless traditions to the mysteries of everyday life, I explore the depth of Japanese culture in all its forms.
I’m also open to requests for topics you’d like to see covered—feel free to reach out anytime! Let’s rediscover the charm of Japan together.
