Translation

I am a translator of Japanese, specializing in medical charts, academic articles of all kinds, and religious texts. I also translate websites, and on the rare occasion, business materials. You can see my CV here.

If you are looking for a translator who values quality and manages quantity, feel free to contact me.

I am currently working on The 100 Stories of Buddhism, by the great religious scholar, Fumio Masutani, whose work is too little known in the West.

Websites

Here are some websites I translated in recent years.

Moku Iseshima Resort,
just a helicopter ride away from Tokyo!

Yomogihira Onsen, the promotional site for the hot-spring hotels and shrines in my village.

The University of Tokyo’s Institute for Solid State Physics
