|| A hobby that keeps on giving. ||

This week on Episode 101 of the #ReadswithRosaPodcast, I sit down for a chat with Julia Tachibana. She is a middle school educator, an advocate for mental health and suicide prevention, and an Amigurumi Artist who crocheted a human-sized Totoro, the adorable furry creature from the Studio Ghibli film: My Neighbor Totoro.

Tune in to hear / see how Julia is spreading the joy, technique and art form of Amigurumi. We also discuss the importance of crediting creators and pattern designers, teacher life, exhibiting her work, being Japanese-American in America vs being Japanese-American in Japan, art as a form of healing and meditation, books, and lots more!
