Connection Between Language and Culture

I believe understanding culture is closely connected to learning a language.
My lessons are clear, engaging, and practical. They integrate Japanese traditions and cultural context.
For example, I include experiences such as visiting shrines or historical buildings.
This helps students naturally understand Japanese expressions and historical background.

Additionally, my ancestors were seal engravers over 120 years ago.
I use my experience with their works and tools to teach cultural context and subtle nuances in Japanese.

Personal Interests

In my free time, I enjoy visiting shrines and exploring retro architecture in Japan.
I also like watching American TV shows.
My favorite is The Blacklist, and currently I’m watching CSI: Vegas Season 3, which is airing in Japan.
