Discover My Japanese Story →

Your Japanese Grows With You.

Your first Japanese might be a word.

Then a sentence.

Then a story.

As you keep learning, talking, and writing, your Japanese changes — and your words become a record of that journey.

Keep Your Japanese in One Book.

Keep Your Japanese in One Book.
From your early sentences to the stories you write today, your writing is a record of your Japanese journey.

If you wish, you can collect the Japanese pieces you've written over time and have them bound into your own personal writing collection, including a traditional Japanese-style bound book called a Wahon.

Your words. Your Japanese. Your journey. All in one book.

Optional bookbinding service available.

About Myu

Japanese Teacher · Writer · Editor

Hi, I'm Myu.

For 20 years, I worked as the editor-in-chief of a Japanese baseball and sports media publication, interviewing people and turning their experiences, thoughts, and stories into words.

For more than 10 years, I have also run a writing and self-expression school, helping children and adults discover what they want to say and express it in their own words.

I am also an author of more than 15 books.

Today, I bring all of those experiences into Japanese teaching.

Good words don't begin with perfection.

They begin with something you really want to say.

Books & Publications

Over the years, I have authored and co-authored more than 15 books, including books about writing, children's education, sports, and nonfiction.
