Mayako F. (’22)
Mayako is currently enjoying her third year at ISSH as a junior. She was born in Tokyo to Japanese parents and spent her early childhood in Indiana before returning to Tokyo. When she was nine, she moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for four years, where she found her passion: photography and writing. Behind her passions lie the desire to see the world from different perspectives, and observing the subtle details of everyday life which often go unnoticed. Her other hobbies include listening to podcasts, watching films, and learning how to cook. This is her second year in Journalism, and she is looking forward to the opportunity to highlight the unique aspects of Japan as well as exploring various other topics, and sharing them with the readers.
