Kurashi to Bi

This web media “Kurashi to Bi” is operated individually by Manami Takeuchi.
(The profile can be found below.)

I started this place because I wanted to share people’s intentions and stories —
and that gentle feeling when our worldview expands, softens, or warms through them.

We all live our days while struggling, inventing, wondering,
and trying our best.

I personally find those moments beautiful —
and I want to share that “beauty” of intention and action with others.

How this site began

I also run an online shop that carries divination items.

I work with overseas creators of tarot and oracle decks, and as I touched many beautiful works every day,
I became more and more curious:

“Who are the people behind these incredible creations?”

Knowing why they create,
and what inspired them to begin —
changes the way a piece feels.
It becomes warmer, deeper.

That is why I wanted to focus more on the person —
and share their stories from a deeper place.

My wish

In this place,
I will slowly introduce the stories of various creators, activists,
and people who are still in the middle of their path —
moving toward their dreams.

If someone visiting this site can feel even a small moment of ease —
like, “Ah, there are different ways to live,”
or feel a bit of courage or hope,

that would make me truly happy.

It doesn’t have to be grand.
Just touching someone’s effort, someone’s heart —
can make today feel a little softer.

“Kurashi to Bi” hopes to be a place that offers such beginnings.

Lastly — I am not a professional writer.
Some parts may be imperfect.
But I write each article with care and sincerity.
If you could read with a gentle heart, I would be grateful.
