About Me
Hi there! I’m Thiago, a storyteller and creative mind living in the heart of rural Japan. Originally from Brazil, my journey has taken me across borders and cultures, eventually leading me to Matsusaka, a quiet town in the Mie region surrounded by mountains, nature, and tranquility.
This blog is my way of sharing the unique experience of living in rural Japan—an experience that blends cultural discovery, personal growth, and a creative approach to life. From the challenges of renovating a traditional Japanese house to reflecting on cultural contrasts, this is a space where I document the lessons, insights, and stories that have shaped my life here.
More than just a blog, it’s a bridge between Brazil and Japan, a place to explore design, Japanese culture, and the beauty of slowing down to appreciate the everyday. Whether it’s a deep dive into Japanese traditions, a glimpse into pop culture, or practical reflections on rural life, this is where creativity and culture come together.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. My hope is that through these stories, you’ll feel inspired, learn something new, or simply enjoy a perspective that’s both personal and unique. Let’s explore rural Japan together!
