I belong to the kendo (Japanese bamboo fencing) club. Recently I passed the kendo second level exam. As I don't have much chance to think about peace in my daily life, I think serving as a junior writer is a good opportunity for me to seriously consider peace issues. I look forward to sharing the results through Peace Seeds.

I'm returning to Peace Seeds after a year-long break. When I first joined the Peace Seeds staff, I was in junior high, but now I'm a high school student. I'll do my best to guide our younger members and write good articles that can be easily understood. Please read Peace Seeds!

I joined the Peace Seeds staff in April 2009. I'm in junior high and my hobbies are playing the piano, bird watching, and watching sports. Being a junior writer is a special chance and I hope to meet new people and deepen my knowledge of peace issues.
