The meaning of the name HIKIYA 光希屋(家)

The non-profitable organization that I set up in Akita for helping hikikomori, is named HIKIYA 光希屋(家)。It is basically a simple echo to hikikomori's home. Where "Hiki", meaning hikikomori; "ya", meaning homeWe even have the kanji for "ko" and "mori" as well.

 Adding bright kanji characters to "hikikomori": ひ (hikari/light) き (kibou/hope) こ (kodoku/loneliness) もり (mori/forest) translates to: Even in the solitude of the forest, hope emerges through the light that shines through the gaps in the trees and leaves. At that moment, one might feel the warmth of the light, accepting the love and hope that arise together. Towards hope, one might start to see their goals more clearly.
