The project to create an environment where people can become familiar with arts and culture in their local communities (nicknamed "Art and Chiiki Project") promotes opportunities for people to participate in arts and culture activities by implementing programs in cooperation with municipalities that are responsible for local communities. The project also creates an environment for the formation of communities and the training of people who are responsible for local issues.

This is a project to read "records of past disasters" (calamitous records) accumulated in various regions and apply them to the present. By tracing the history of disasters, unearthing the history of the region, meeting and discussing with people who are facing these disasters, and creating a place to express themselves through workshops and exhibitions, the project aims to create a network for people to live together in the period between disasters.

metote-lab
This is a project to create a place for people with different physical and sensory worlds to develop communication based on their own senses and language, with Deaf people, people with hearing loss, and CODAs (people with Deaf parents) who speak visual language (Japanese sign language) taking the lead. By reconsidering the cultures that have been nurtured through sign language and tracing the perspectives and words surrounding them, I am researching and developing communication and mechanisms that enable people from diverse backgrounds to recognize their cultural differences.
