I was born in Kyoto, Japan, then moved to Italy when I was ten. I worked in the UK for 10 years, so I also feel a little adopted British.
Sometimes I travel for work but not hectic jet style, I like to stay in a place to understand it well. I love cities and landscapes.
Identity is always our curse, but now as adult I think you are where you live, what you breathe, what you eat, who you meet, are your family.
It’s nice to think we are citizens of the world where your own cultural mediation is a great medicine to any misunderstanding or uncomfortable feeling.
A salute to all Hapas!
