Welcome to tamai.blog.
I am writing this at my desk in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
I am a physician-scientist. My daily work involves epidemiology and data in the pharmaceutical industry. When I am not in front of a screen, I spend my time practicing the Urasenke tea ceremony, playing Go, and appreciating Japanese craftsmanship.
This blog is a simple place where my professional and personal interests meet.
What I will record here
I do not have a grand plan for this site. I expect to write about:
- Science & Health: Thoughts from my work in medicine and HEOR.
- Culture & Aesthetics: My journey with traditional arts and the “stillness” they provide.
- The Art of Learning: My attempts to study new fields and improve my English.
Learning in Public
English is my second language. I am still a student. I have decided to share my thoughts as they are, even if my expressions are imperfect. I consider this blog a part of my “learning in public” process.
Just a Small Corner
I am not trying to change the world. I am just happy to have a small corner on the internet to organize my thoughts.
Thank you for stopping by. Please feel free to look around.
A New Chapter
This blog is a new chapter in a journey that began in 2001. I have used WordPress since 2006, and it remains a silent partner in my intellectual inquiry. I look forward to sharing more about this history in my next entry.
