About

Hi! I'm Carina and hey how are you is my seasonal newsletter about exploring inner landscapes, and cultivating child-like curiousity towards the everyday. Since launching in 2022, I've shared eight seasons of stories, observations, and conversations.

Past seasons have delved into themes like aspirational personas, teenage friendships, the journey of nurturing creative projects. I draw inspiration from my connection to my birthtown of Gifu, daily life in Tokyo, and creative friends.

What to expect

Each season runs for about two months, with weekly/biweekly missives that rotate between:

• Personal essays
• Conversations with friends about in-progress creative projects
• Snaps from my camera roll and archives

Between seasons, I take a break from publishing to brainstorm and gather inspiration for the next one.
