---Where were you born?
Kojima, Kurashiki-City.
---What do you do for a living?
I work for "Betty Smith," an apparel maker in Kojima.
---Tell us more about your work.
Meeting with clients during ordering seasons and production. I take most orders at the office, but I also travel to Tokyo and Takamatsu to receive orders at department stores.
---Do you enjoy your work?
Yes, very much! It's fun creating products based on orders I receive directly from my clients. Also, when a customer likes my work and comes back to re-order.When they write or e-mail me. I find my work very rewarding because I receive direct feedback from my customers.
---Where do you often go?
Womb in Kojima. I used to stop by three times a week and I would always eat cake when I was there. Unfortunately, they closed the café last spring. (to reopen as a secondhand store at a new location) Although I did lose some weight thanks to that.
---What are you into right now?
Surfing. Especially the last three months. I often go to the beach at Tottori. I leave my house at three or four in the morning, arrive at the beach around seven and search for the surf point. I can finally manage to stand on my board once every several times recently.
---How would you like to be ten years from now?
Whether I would have a family or continue to pursue my career, I'd like to be energetic like I am now.
