I used to be an active CSer around 2010.
Maybe, enough active to be interviewed by BBC.

But man, everything is like this: When interesting people make some culture, the followers ruin them very easily. If the followers have some money, it can be on the mainstream or become popular. Since they didn't under the influence of Airbnb, CS became ruined.

That's what we see today' CS. But I'm optimistic at the same time and still appreciate this network and potential experience.

Interests

/// Cooking and Eating ///
Yes, I'm foody but I love to do that especially with CSers from different sense of tastes. I'm always ready to learn new culture and taste and teach my Japanese cuisine. I also have a nickname as 'chai master'.

/// Lines ///
This is one of my reasons to have decided to be a photographer and to have a travel in the city as much as I can.

/// Meditation ///
As I grew up in the center of busy city Tokyo, I came to need some silence in my daily life. Then I took this. But there is another reason for which I can pick this as my interests. After questing for the world outside, I found out it's also amazing to see inside. I mean, this is very travel-minded interest so I hope it's easy to share.

///Bondage///
We have own fetish culture and for me I feel like using chopstick for sex. So it's personal but open to anybody to explain it as Japanese culture. Yep, it's still exotic and hard to translate what we feel but can be artistic. We have some respect and manner to go for own desire.
