Amanda Kudo

Amanda Kudo is a contemporary Japanese-inspired author and wellbeing creator whose books translate Japanese cultural wisdom into gentle daily practice. My Little Ikigai Journal guides readers to discover their reason for being through prompts, exercises and illustrated pages.

Kudo blends the popular ikigai concept with journaling craft, offering a low-pressure path into self-reflection and gratitude. Her journals are widely gifted, popular with readers who enjoy Western-style habits meeting Japanese philosophy, and are designed to be used slowly, a little every day.
