Makarita Japanについて
What's Makarita？
Maka(摩訶）
means Great
Rita(利他）
means Altruistic
Since ancient times, Japanese culture has evolved upon the pillars of spiritual refinement, harmony, altruism, coexistence, and the cycle of life.
This spiritual heritage, passed down from heart to heart through generations, embodies the timeless wisdom that guides humanity toward true peace and harmonious coexistence.
Makarita Japan derives its name from the profound ideals of “Maka” (Greatness) and “Rita” (Altruism) — a cultural initiative dedicated to sharing the spirit and beauty of Japan with the world.
Through bilingual hosting, interpretation, cultural education, and event production, we connect people across languages and hearts, conveying the prayers, harmony, and life-giving spirit that dwell within Japan, the sacred land of Kotodama — the divine power of words.
Each encounter becomes a prayer for peace and a bond for the future.
Makarita Japan serves as a bridge from Japan to the world, carrying the spirit of Wa (Harmony) to the next generation and beyond.

Ordained as a lay esoteric Buddhist, and trained as a female Shugendo yamabushi — a practitioner of the Japanese mountain ascetic tradition who seeks spiritual enlightenment through rigorous training in nature —
I embody the inner unity of Deities and Buddhas.
Working alongside my master, Ajari-sensei — a highly respected esoteric Buddhist teacher and spiritual guide —
I lead international initiatives for world peace.
As a professional, I bring the heart of the Buddha into daily life,

Event Creator
〜Connecting to the Future〜
Japan Culture Future Summit
Annual events blending tradition, innovation, and global exchange
I produce an annual summit held on the Spring Equinox, March 20,
where tradition, innovation, and international exchange converge.
By bringing together ancient wisdom, contemporary innovation, and cross-cultural connections, the summit creates new possibilities for the future.
Under the concept of “Connecting to the Future”, each encounter and shared experience becomes a step toward building a world of harmony and peace, linking individual actions to a brighter, shared tomorrow.
