Me and the bug on a ferris wheel in Karuizawa, Japan in 2016. 

Update on what is going on now: 

In early 2023, I was accepted into a 3-year doctoral program in industrial-organizational psychology at The University of Tulsa, and I have been spending most of my time in Oklahoma, USA since June 2023—though I head back home to my family Tokyo as often as possible. 

Given the change in my own circumstances, I have had little time to devote to keeping this site up-to-date—mostly due to the amount of fiddly-ness required to post using SquareSpace. Thus, I have recently moved this entire site to blot.im in hopes of making a smaller footprint and a workflow that will facilitate ease-of-posting. We’ll see how it goes.
