With Thanks

iKIGAi is not something I built alone.

It exists because of the people, ideas, and resources that have guided me, encouraged me, and reminded me to live simply but meaningfully.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge them here. Without this support, iKIGAi would not be what it is today.

Inspiration

I owe much to the writers, thinkers, and creators who opened my eyes to minimalism, intentional living, and the pursuit of clarity in a noisy world. Their words and examples continue to inspire the way I live and the way I share.

Tools & Resources

This site is supported by the work of countless developers, designers, and open-source communities. From the platforms that host it to the creative resources that give it form, I am deeply grateful for the generosity of those who make their work available to others.

In particular, this blog takes shape with the WordPress theme SWELL, whose clean design and thoughtful details allow the content to breathe.

My profile icon is provided by Linustock, whose simple and warm illustrations add a sense of friendliness and character.

The photographs featured here often come from Unsplash, a community of photographers who generously share their work with the world. Their images bring depth and atmosphere to this blog.

I am thankful for the generosity of all who make such wonderful resources available.

Personal Support

To my family and friends: thank you for your patience, encouragement, and quiet support.
Thank you, too, for giving me the freedom to choose my own path and live authentically. You give me the strength to keep writing and the confidence to share my journey openly.

Readers

And finally, to you — the fellow travelers on this journey.
Thank you for spending your time here, for exploring these ideas, and for joining me in seeking a simpler, more intentional way of living. Your presence is what gives meaning to this journey.
