THE EYE BEHIND THE NOTES
Hello, I’m MIRAI.
I’m a Japanese girl who loves FX trading. Most days, I’m holed up staring at trading screens—but I should pay attention to the world outside, too! In this blog, I take a closer look at Japan’s places, culture and small everyday discoveries.
Sometimes a sweeping view catches my eye. Sometimes it’s a tiny detail almost everyone walks past. That’s where these notes begin.
And if I occasionally blow some money trading FX and end up posting something weird… go easy on me, okay?
A LITTLE CURIOSITY GOES A LONG WAY

A love of FX. An eye for small discoveries.
There’s more to discover beyond these notes.
