YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Akemi is a Nikkei storyteller, writer, teacher and visual/experiential creative. She has familial roots in Taiji-cho, Wakayama-ken, the neighborhood of Asakusa in Tōkyō-to and Terminal Island. She is the founder of Little Well Studio, an atelier driven by the principles of preservation, healing and education. Her work actively nurtures traditions and stories through the visual/creative arts, embodiment practices and engagement. Akemi’s artistic and spiritual path is deeply informed by her upbringing within the Japanese cultural art of karate-do from the age of three and her experience as a kata athlete. She describes karate-do as her ethnic and spiritual identity in motion, at the intersection of tradition, ancestral wisdom and modern identity. Akemi views ancestral work as a living, breathing relationship with those who have come before and traditions as a way to dialogue with the past.
