After completing his doctoral studies in library science at Keio University, he joined the faculty of a junior college in Japan.

He also teaches paper airplane workshops and does seminars at schools, libraries, community centers and museums. He lived and taught library science in Fukushima, Japan, until the giant earthquake and nuclear accident in March 2011, when the city became unsafe.
