“I graduated from Warwick University in 2011 with a 2.1 in History and Culture. Japanese history has been my greatest interest for a long time but I never had a chance to study it academically, so it’s always been a hobby rather than speciality.

One of my dreams is to work on a UK-specific magazine all about Japan, as there seems to be a gaping hole in the media market that would be very worthwhile if it was filled. I am writing this blog to build an archive of ideas and features that I can eventually take to publishers.”
