Arts coordinator, translator and researcher. I have lived in Malaysia for 5 years when I worked for the Japan Foundation as a head of culture. After coming back to Japan in 2016, I was part of a faculty at Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai) and now back in my hometown Hokkaido to work for the new national museum dedicated to the indigenous peoples of Japan, Ainu.
