I competed in my first jiu-jitsu competition today! Even though I lost in the first round, I’m filled with genuine gratitude. I haven’t trained for a full year yet, but this sport has already become one of the most life changing things for me both physically and mentally. I love how supportive the community is, and it’s so detailed and technical which really suits my personality. As I’ve gotten older, I feel like I’ve gotten really stuck in my routines, so it honestly feels kind of magical to be challenging myself like this. I can’t even really remember the last time I competed in something or felt butterflies, so even that feeling alone is really refreshing and inspiring.

A big shout out to,, and who gifted me my first gi and motivated me to get into the sport. Thank you for sensei and Takuzo-san and the rest of crew. And thank you for for always cheering me on.
How changing tattoo culture is reflecting a quiet shift in Japan.

Our Tokyo correspondent is back on your feeds, this time with a fascinating and personal dive into the layered history of tattoo culture in Japan. With connotations and uses ranging from criminality and punishment, to art and a means of self-expression, tattooing has seen many shifts across generations.

My latest article for is live! The first summer I moved to Japan, I remember sitting on a packed train in a tank top, sweating my ass off with my tattoos out. I plopped down next to a woman, and she immediately looked uncomfortable and got up to move. It wasn’t necessarily hurtful or shocking, but coming from New York, I never really thought twice about having tattoos. Living in Japan made me rethink how my body occupies space and how I’m perceived.

I wanted to write a piece about contemporary tattoo culture in Japan, because it's so layered, and I think it reflects the broader shifts around diversity. Even in the 8+ years I’ve been in Tokyo, I’ve noticed a slow but real change.

For this piece, I got to speak with some incredible artists, including, who runs the 1mm Tattoo project and has tattooed a freckle-sized dot on literally thousands of people. I also talked to, who gave me the tiny flower on my finger that I love, who is just an incredibly sensitive and inspiring artist. And I spoke with, who moved from China and has been tattooing in Koenji for seven years, and hearing her perspective was also really eye-opening.

The article also came together thanks to conversations and advice from:

And thanks as always to!
Just me and my friend Shohei Ohtani. 地区優勝おめでとうございます!
Hi, some personal news, not that it matters to too many people, but I’ve officially joined as a co-creative director.

Since starting almost four years ago, I didn’t think I’d join a company again, but I’m genuinely excited about this. Over the past few years, I’ve worked closely with DCA and built a creative partnership with that’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. We’ve made some of the best, most meaningful work of my career together. If you looked at a Venn diagram of DCA and RAN projects, it’d basically be a full circle (I also designed the DCA logo lol). Brad is someone who protects good ideas at all costs, and I’ve never felt as creatively protected as I do with him. And moving forward, I’ll do my best to help shape DCA’s output with the same care and fastidiousness I like to think RAN has become known for.

I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built with Studio RAN and deeply grateful to every client who took a chance on me, and I don’t plan to abandon it entirely. I’m hoping that RAN will evolve into more of a creative outlet for personal and experimental work, where I’ll take on just a few select projects a year that challenge my usual output. So please continue to reach out if you have something fun in mind, it could end up with me or DCA.
Who’s the best-known illustrator in Japan you’ve (probably) never heard of? It’s Takashi Mifune. In the latest View From Tokyo, our correspondent dives into the fascinating history of Irasutoya, the free-to-use clip art service that’s shaped the nation’s visual language, and its sole founder and operator – the one-man illustration machine behind it all.

Head on over to the link in our bio to read the full piece. #INTTheViewFrom
Happy 4th birthday to our spoiled baby Konbu!!
My latest article for is live! I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for a while! It’s about Irasutoya, the most widely used clip art service in Japan, and its slightly mysterious founder. The piece was inspired by a conversation I had with last year in Vietnam, about the cultural power of “defaults” and how they quietly shape our visual world.

If you’ve ever been to Japan, even if you don't realize it, you’ve definitely seen an Irasutoya illustration, so whether you’ve visited or plan to, I think you’ll enjoy the read. Please check out the full article via or via the link in my bio.

Big thanks (as always) to for proofreading, for the insight, for the Vietnam signage image, and for the continued support.
It’s my 35th birthday 🥳! Here’s a selection from my photo album checking to see if I’m balding in the back. Consensus: slightly!
After a bit of a hiatus my hit series “Ray’s Review” is back with a holiday special. Drink number two and three are some of the worst things I’ve had in a while.
