Ordained as a lay esoteric Buddhist, and trained as a female Shugendo yamabushi — a practitioner of the Japanese mountain ascetic tradition who seeks spiritual enlightenment through rigorous training in nature —
I embody the inner unity of Deities and Buddhas.
Working alongside my master, Ajari-sensei — a highly respected esoteric Buddhist teacher and spiritual guide —
I lead international initiatives for world peace.
As a professional, I bring the heart of the Buddha into daily life,
sharing the wisdom of ancient traditions in a way that resonates with the modern world.
Event Creator
〜Connecting to the Future〜
Japan Culture Future Summit
Annual events blending tradition, innovation, and global exchange
I produce an annual summit held on the Spring Equinox, March 20,
where tradition, innovation, and international exchange converge.
By bringing together ancient wisdom, contemporary innovation, and cross-cultural connections, the summit creates new possibilities for the future.
Under the concept of “Connecting to the Future”, each encounter and shared experience becomes a step toward building a world of harmony and peace, linking individual actions to a brighter, shared tomorrow.
