I Used to Travel the World. Now I Travel Through My Memories.
Welcome to Safari Archive.
I used to travel the world.
Now I travel through my memories.
Safari Archive is neither a travel blog nor an autobiography.
It is a lifelong archive of the people I have met, the places I have lived, the work I have done, the things I have created, the mistakes I have made, and the life I continue to live today.
Memories do not return in chronological order.
Some days I remember Mexico.
On other days, Israel, Africa, Australia, or the streets of Tokyo suddenly come back to me.
For that reason, this archive is organized into chapters based on countries, places, and different periods of my life.
Each chapter follows its own timeline.
Together, they slowly become one life.
Read from the beginning, or simply start wherever your curiosity takes you.
Every chapter is another part of the same journey.

Safari Workshop
@Safari000 (Ongoing)
This is not simply a collection of handmade works.
It is where I write about why each piece was created.
Where I found the materials.
The journeys behind them.
And why I still keep them today.
Silver.
Leather.
Everyday Carry (EDC).
Objects collected during my travels.
Each piece carries part of my life.
In the future, this archive will also become a place where these works are introduced and offered for sale.
Tokyo Bath & Onsen Club
@000 (Ongoing)
This magazine is about my life in Tokyo today.
Public bathhouses.
Senzokuike Pond.
Evening walks.
Park benches.
The quiet moments inside a hot bath.
From these ordinary places, my memories suddenly travel back to Mexico, Israel, Africa, Australia, and beyond.
Unlike the other chapters, this magazine is not chronological.
It always begins with the present moment.
About the People in These Stories
To protect the privacy of those who appear in these stories, some names have been changed.
The events themselves are based on my real experiences.

This section will be updated as the archive continues to grow.
I am not simply writing articles.
I am organizing a lifetime.
My travels.
My work.
My failures.
My creations.
Even this act of writing.
They are all part of the same life.
This archive will never truly be finished.
It will continue to grow as I keep walking.
I used to travel the world.
Now I travel through my memories.
