About

Fashion is more than clothing—it is a reflection of history, culture and identity. I explore often overlooked narratives in fashion, particularly the intersection between Japan, Western culture and beyond, bringing individual insights to a global audience.

Manako Journal is a space to explore fashion and culture through untold stories—especially from Japan, where the writer was born, and beyond.
