Impact
"Ikigai" is the Japanese philosophy of having a source of value in one's life that makes everything worthwhile. It's your reason to get out of bed in the morning. Ikigai is often represented as the center of a Venn diagram overlapping what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for.
Ikigai is owned by Pam Powers who is 100% Japanese and enjoys exploring the history, culture and social value of handcrafting in Japan.
