Hi, and thank you for finding this blog. I'm Emi, writing from Japan. This is my lifelog, full of the things I love: what I've learned about the web through my work, learning languages, making things, and everyday life.

About this blog

This blog started as notes on what I learned and tried while building websites and running WordPress sites for work.

Over the years my interests have grown, and it has become a lifelog of the things I love: learning languages, making things, stationery and journaling. Most posts are in Japanese, and I'm translating some of them into English, little by little. I hope you find something you enjoy.
