<p>as an author, i want to bring the beauty and complexity of japanese culture and cuisine to life through my words. i hope to inspire you, the reader, to explore and appreciate the richness of this amazing country for yourself, and to share my passion for japan through my writing.</p>
<p>my books do not claim to be scientific or even complete. rather, i would like to bring you closer to a very special country and its people, their customs and traditions in a relaxed and entertaining way. should i succeed in this, i would have achieved my goal.</p>
