Hi, I’m WiseDad.
In spring 2024, we turned a long-time dream into reality. With my son finishing high school, we created a space to share meaningful insights from Japanese culture. Our goal is simple: pass on wisdom gained through years of experience.
A few of our milestones
What you learn from us
We advocate for practical ideas. Our central theme revolves around the question: “How can we use Japanese insights to answer modern questions?”
Put simply, AskWiseDad uncovers valuable Japanese insights and explains them in a way that’s easy to apply to daily life.
Our writing covers topics like…
The practices are explained simply, but simplicity doesn’t mean they’re easy—we still struggle with some ourselves.
These aren’t practices we’ve created. They’ve either been taught to us or sparked our personal interest.
It’s not enough that we understand these concepts; it’s our job to make them simple and understandable for you too.
Thanks to you, we spend more time discussing ideas and talking about things we hadn’t before. This blog has been a way to deepen our familial bond. For that, we’re truly grateful.
Most importantly, we don’t claim to know everything. There’s still so much to learn, but we’re eager to share everything we’ve discovered so far.
Yours truly.
