I’m a Tokyo-based author, translator, folklorist, and certified kimono consultant.

Pre-order my book!
Eight Million Ways to Happiness is the culmination of more than a decade of research, exploration, and living. It’s a cultural history of the Japanese spiritual landscape, and also something more: a roadmap for those questing for meaning in the modern world, but who shy away from locking themselves into any specific faith. It’s due out in December 2025, but you can pre-order it here!
