At the time of this writing, Sachiko is an associate professor at Tokyo Gakugei University. This chapter presents her reflections on her experiences at the Children’s Academy for the benefit, especially, of students and those new to qualitative research. Sachiko’s struggles to find her Ibasho at the Children’s Academy highlight the challenges of defining one’s role as a researcher in ethnographic research. In addition, her reflections capture the flavor of the social and psychological climate at the Children’s Academy. They also provide another, first-person, account of the experience of Ibasho creation from a Japanese perspective.
