Yae | Half-Farmer, Half-Singer / Singer-Songwriter

Our guest for the 51st Oyako Day Online Talk Live is Yae.

Her father was the late Toshio Fujimoto, who devoted his life to taking action and speaking out on issues that mattered to society.

Her mother is singer Tokiko Kato, who has continued to share her messages with the world through music.

Yae has inherited that powerful spirit of expression. As a “half-farmer, half-singer,” she follows two paths—farming and music—while continuing to communicate the values and ideas that are important to her.

Rather than simply preserving what she has received, she nurtures it and passes it on to the next generation.

In this edition of the Oyako Day Online Talk Live, we look forward to hearing about Yae’s way of life and exploring how her journey resonates with the values at the heart of Oyako Day—what we receive from one generation, how we nurture it, and what we pass on to the next.

Bruce Osborn first met Yuki Shogun nearly forty years ago. Since then, Yuki has dedicated himself to preserving and passing on Japan’s intangible cultural heritage, including Bushido, traditional etiquette, and performing arts.

“Culture is not something to be preserved—it is a living asset that should be passed on to future generations.”

How will this philosophy resonate with the values and aspirations that Oyako Day has cherished over the years?

This promises to be another engaging and thought-provoking conversation.
