Right now I’m living in the countryside of Ayabe, Kyōto in Japan with a partner and am focussing on these five things like the five fingers of a hand;
- Publishing a co-translation of Naoki Shiomi’s book 塩見直紀の京都発コンセプト88 半農半Xから1人１研究所まで (88 Concepts from Part Farmer Part X to 1 Person 1 Research Centre) with Mika Furugori. More information on our co-translation journey and the progress of the co-translation can be read on our website for the co-translation project here.
- Contributing remotely in various support functions and collaborating in various teams for an online community and organization called Nonviolent Global Liberation (NGL for short).
- Doing a two-yearlong working holiday visa Experiment with Truth in the countryside of Ayabe, Kyōto, in Japan.
- Storyboarding and illustrating activities of people and daily life that I’m inspired to draw and sketchbooking scenes, landscapes and objects in daily life as a way to document the time I am here. I haven’t figured out a way to share this online yet.
- Practising jazz piano, going on treks, practising making wood tables, doing small household renovations and aikidō!
On pause;
- Creating bi-monthly daily life vlogs featuring meals made with locally grown or foraged food that’s in season.
- Sharing my detailed monthly income and expenditures as well as spending plan on the my finances page of this blog along with the needs I was trying to meet with each expenditure and how.
- Offering printed by donation wall prints of photographs I’ve taken of the nature around me as digital downloads on an Etsy shop called Creative Rest Print Shop that I’m working on opening.
