Please describe yourself and your areas of interest.

I am a Project Manager at the Ruskin & Morris Center of Osaka. I am also an Assistant Professor of the College of Global Engagement at the Kansai Gaidai University.

Why did you become a Companion of the Guild?

At the Ruskin & Morris Center of Osaka, we offer classes, workshops, and a range of programmes that seek to bring John Ruskin's ideas into meaningful dialogue with contemporary Japanese society and the wider world. Through these activities, we hope to explore the enduring relevance of his thought and to foster opportunities for learning, reflection, and practical engagement. It would be a great pleasure to share our experience and practice with fellow Companions across the world, and I very much look forward to building collaborations with the Companions in the world.
