About Me

I was born near tokyo and had lived tokyo for almost 20years. I had studied Japanese chess for more than 15 years and had tried to become a professional player but for some reasons, I came out from Japan and decided to live out of Japan.

I have a lot of curiosity for new things. I like travelling and on the first travelling around Asia, I discovered a great many things that I would haven't seen if I had yet lived in Japan. Meeting new things were not always fun, sometime I faced to it with feeling of fear but after while, I found that I was getting new point of view! Meeting new people also always brings me new discoveries and I do like to share experiences and thoughts.

I'm also interested in Tradition. I've learned some Japanese martial arts and Indian traditional medicine (Ayurveda) and traditional Chinese medicine. I do believe that ancient people had a variety of knowledge so much. We live in capitalized society now and some of them might be worthless but there are so many things I could learn through tradition.

My biggest concern is how to develop myself intellectually, physically, and mentally. so I am always hungry on any kind of knowledge. Reading books is one of the my best time. I read a lot and think about it and often share ideas with friends. Topics of books are not really important because I simply want to know new things.

I also have passion on cooking since I found that most of traditional medicine think that eating food affect my body differently.

I have no religion but I would say that I have lots of Buddhism influences on my thoughts. I believe ''Karma''.
''Karma brings you everything''
It's pleasure if ''Karma'' brings me to new people around the world.
