10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

The great joy in life is accomplishing what the world says, “You can’t do.”Walter Bagehot

One of the great joys in life is accomplishing what the world says you cannot do. — Walter Bagehot (economist) #calligraphy #書道 #名言

The great joy in life is accomplishing what the world says, “You can’t do.” — Walter Bagehot

Watch on YouTube: “The great joy in life is accomplishing what the world says, ‘You can’t do.’” — Walter Bagehot

Seeing someone strive toward their goals and dreams is truly wonderful.

But it seems we don’t always receive only warm words from those around us.

Sometimes we’re showered with comments like “That’s impossible” or “You should stop.” I’d like to share a quote to remember when you encounter negative words.

It’s from Walter Bagehot, a British economist: “The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” People around you might say “You can’t do it” because they envy your effort.

But they have no right to stop you from trying.

And while your goal may be difficult given your current abilities, by taking on the challenge, you may well unlock new abilities.
