JAPANESE CUSTOMS

with CAT NAKAMICHI

Translator Catherine Nakamichi (Cat), based in Osaka, has collaborated with Japanese writers and academics to write and publish books in English on Japanese customs.

BIO

Cat is a freelance Japanese to English translator specializing in mainly technical and medical (particularly immunology) related documents. In her free time (?) she has collaborated in the writing and translation of five books on Japanese customs and culture, including The Quick Guide to Traditional Japanese Handicrafts, published by Maruzen.

From her website: After studying languages and linguistics at Monash University I caught the travel bug and came to Japan. I immediately fell in love with the culture, the people and the man who would become my husband. Once I married I became the wife of the eldest son in a farming family. Tradition. Tradition. Tradition. 

You might wonder how I have time to be a mother (of two teenagers), heavily involved in the community in which we live and able to pursue my personal interests of sailing and embroidery as well as wearing and making kimono. My days are full but I start each one with a walk in the park with our Tohoku rescue-dog, Xyris....

We look forward to welcoming Cat for what promises to be a fascinating talk and Q&A session.
