After becoming involved with an NPO in the wake of the July 2018 heavy rains, I happened to start living in Mabi. In my day-to-day work, I’m an occupational therapist in town, supporting children and parenting, offering consultations and places to belong, and running a Gakken cram school. I moved from the Shimanto River Basin to the Takahashi River Basin 10 years ago. I love activities that stimulate the seven senses, such as music, photography, and Uraja! I’ll share the appeal of Kurashiki City, a place where everyone can live comfortably.
