CEO of Kishike Co. Ltd.
I’m born and raised in Tokyo.
I’m descendant of samurai family from Okayama and since 2016 I’m also the 16th head of the family.
At university, I was a part of the windsurfing club and it made me spent a lot of time in Kamakura. After graduating I was working in sales for a trading company and during my work I have met many people working in this hectic world. I started to think if there is a way to achieve peace of mind. Then I remembered what I was taught by my late grandfather – the chisoku.
Ocean and mountains. Zen temples. Samurai families. Kamakura! In the old capital of Japan, I have found all of these.
I fell in love with this place and I decided to establish the
I hope people can find their chisoku by the stay at our retreat full of Japanese culture experiences.

Since I remember I like drawing and as I was growing the passion for the art also grew.
At the same time as a kid, I was a part of a club run by Toyota where I got hooked on making robots. I’m a nerd, otaku – I like games, anime, manga.
I studied design at the University of Arts and then I worked for Panasonic in the interior material division.
I also love traditional Japanese culture.
I learned the way of tea from my grandmother and it made me want to make the tea a part of my life. I’m constantly studying about tea, practicing various ways of the tea ceremony, visiting the tea plantations, tea utensils makers. I guess you can call me a tea otaku.
I want to share my love for tea and the Japanese culture with you!
