Umi Matsuzaki

I’m Umi, the keeper of Lamp no Ie—a home that's been in my family for generations. I cook, I clean, I raise the signal flags every morning like a quiet promise to the sea and to my father, who never came back from it. My life is simple, but full—between my siblings, our guests, and the rhythm of the coast, there’s always something grounding to return to. I may not be on a ship, but I still guide people home.
