Meet Moeno

こんにちは! I'm Moeno, a native Japanese speaker from the vibrant city of Osaka. My journey began with a passion for sharing my language and culture with the world, which led me to establish Nihongo with Moeno—a platform dedicated to authentic Japanese language instruction.

While teaching remains my primary focus at nihongowithmoeno.com, I've always had a creative side that yearned for expression. This shop represents that creative outlet, allowing me to design products that showcase Japan's rich cultural heritage and aesthetic sensibilities.

Currently studying English, I aspire to become a professional translator—bridging Japanese and global cultures not just through language, but through visual arts and design. Each product in this shop tells a story about Japan, from traditional motifs to playful modern designs inspired by my daily life with my dog Mui.

Our Philosophy

At Nihongo with Moeno Shop, we believe in creating products that are not just visually appealing but also culturally meaningful. Every design is carefully crafted to represent an aspect of Japanese culture, whether it's the elegance of traditional aesthetics, the charm of contemporary Japanese lifestyle, or the playful spirit of my beloved companion, Mui.

We're committed to quality and authenticity in everything we create. Our goal is to bring a piece of Japan into your everyday life through thoughtfully designed products that spark joy and foster appreciation for Japanese culture.

"Language is the gateway to understanding a culture, but sometimes the most profound cultural connections happen beyond words—through shared experiences, visual arts, and everyday objects that carry cultural significance."

Mui the dog

The Story of Mui

No story about Nihongo with Moeno would be complete without mentioning Mui, my adorable and spirited canine companion. Mui has become more than a pet—he's a core part of my brand and an ambassador for the playful side of Japanese culture.

Together, we explore Osaka and share our adventures on @mui_inu. His cheerful personality has inspired many of our most popular designs, bringing smiles to customers around the world.
