Hello.

Whether you have a story to share, a question about Setouchi, or simply want to connect — I read every message.

About this site

Japan's Hidden Gems is a weekly letter from the Setouchi region. I write about crafts, foods, habits, and customs that are disappearing — and why they deserve to be known before they're gone.

Story tips

If you know of a craftsman, a tradition, a food, or a custom in the Setouchi region — or anywhere in Japan — that deserves a wider audience, I want to hear about it.

Languages

Please write in English or Japanese. I reply personally to every message, usually within a few days.
