I moved to Korea after working as a TV producer for over 15 years. In this second stage of my life, different from my time as a reporter in Tokyo, where I was always on the front lines of news reporting, I experience "ordinary happiness" every day with my husband and son. I want to spread the "IKIGAI" I experience in my daily life to the world.

She married into a family that runs a dried bonito shop that has been in business since the Edo period, and is a communicator of the "goodness and importance of dashi soup stock." She also studied nutrition and child-rearing from weaning to infancy. After studying positive psychology, she became an IKIGAI researcher. She is exploring the idea that all learning, from dashi soup stock to IKIGAI, is connected.

While teaching, she also offers coaching and sessions to align the mind and body. "IKIGAI is something inside of you. It's not something special, or something you have to try to find, you just need to "remember" it. Why not try remembering your IKIGAI through coaching?"

With many years of experience in the nursing care industry, we provide coaching to help caregivers to smile and enjoy their work. The care site is a place filled with "little happiness," or "IKIGAI." No matter how advanced AI becomes, people still care for other people. This is the fundamental activity of human beings. We are working to make such care sites more filled with IKIGAI.
