SANA 

It would be great if I could work in the art and food cultural fields as kind of a bridge between Japan and the World. 
I’ve learnt and done some activities for making Japanese traditional artistic sweet called "Wagashi" which is including 
the Japanese cuisine “Washoku” designated officially as Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO in 2014.  The reason why I’m interested in “Wagashi” is that I feel the Japanese unique mind such as respecting nature, loving tiny things and feeling beauty from ephemeral things might be embodied in the artistic sweets "Wagashi". 
It might be not easy for non-Japanese to understand that kind of uniqueness but I believe that we might find something great from different feelings between variety of people in the world and Japanese.
I have an idea that "Wagashi" has some potential to give people in the world a better understanding of Japanese 
unique sense and way of life, and the uniqueness also could contribute and has a hint to find a new global 
intelligence and to create enrich communities in the world. Therefore, I hope I could contribute realizeing 
a spiritually rich society through introducing the Japanese art and food culture to the world.
