Thanks for sharing this story.

"Her Ikigai was writing about Ikigai."

I work on a framework called Creative Life Curation which means turning pieces of life experiences into life achievements.

One concept of the framework is called "Creative Themes". Mieko Kamiya's primary creative theme is "Ikigai"!
