This is a “now” page—a snapshot of my current focus and the rhythms of my daily life.
Where I am
I am currently based in Shinagawa, Tokyo. While I navigate the urban energy of the capital, my heart remains connected to my home in Gifu. This duality of city and nature, of “now” and “roots,” defines my current perspective.
Professional Focus
My career is rooted in the pharmaceutical industry, where I work to ensure that medical decisions are grounded in solid evidence and logic. I am dedicated to the pursuit of sustainable public health, bridging the gap between data-driven science and real-world well-being.
Ongoing Inquiries
- Exploring the Edges of Evidence: Having planted nearly twenty essays in this digital garden, my inquiries are focusing on the boundaries of quantitative data—examining what standard metrics tend to strip away from the lived experience of illness.
- The Art of Learning: Connecting disparate threads across health economics, epidemiology, and humanities into a cohesive worldview. Learning remains a lifelong, quiet practice.
Finding Stillness
Between the demands of strategy and science, balance is anchored by:
- Chanoyu (The Art of Tea): Practicing presence, tranquility, and seasonal transitions in the tearoom.
- Go: Engaging in the silent, strategic dialogue across the board.
- Art & Craftsmanship: Observing the dedication of makers in galleries and exhibitions, drawing inspiration for both work and life.
