Hello, my name is Hikari. I am a 30-year-old woman who has lived in this small town all my life. Growing up here, I have always been fascinated by the stories of the local legends and myths that surround our village. My parents owned a small store where I worked after school and on weekends, helping them with the day-to-day operations.
As a child, I was curious about everything around me, always asking questions and exploring the world around me. I loved spending time in nature, hiking and camping with my family. I also had a deep appreciation for art, particularly painting and drawing. As I grew older, I began to explore different mediums and styles of art, eventually developing my own unique style that blended traditional Japanese techniques with contemporary influences.
Despite being deeply passionate about art, I always knew that I would need to find a way to make a living in our small town. So after graduating from high school, I decided to pursue a career in accounting, taking classes at the local community college and eventually working as an accountant for one of the larger companies in the area. While it was not my dream job, it allowed me to support myself while continuing to explore my artistic side on the weekends and during my free time.
Even though I have settled into a comfortable routine, I still feel drawn to the stories of our town's legends and myths. In recent years, I have begun exploring them more deeply, researching their origins and speaking with elders in the community who may have heard these tales from their own ancestors. Despite being a modern woman living in a small town, I feel like there is still so much to learn and discover about our community's history and culture.
