about

I'm a multifaceted and detail-oriented freelance writer specializing in Japanese culture, lifestyle, history, news, travel, and more.I research and create engaging short- and long-form content that educates and informs about anything and everything Japan. I've penned over 100 articles for the website Unseen Japan, including an in-depth three-part series on the history of feminism in Japan and a deep dive into the cult classic book Battle Royale. I also write food experience and restaurant reservation pages for the food tourism website byFood.
