We are a research institute that considers the "substance" and "more!" of design from individual perspectives, centered on "interest, research, and discovery." Individuals with different backgrounds come together to explore and implement design possibilities through collaboration from various perspectives. We aim to create emotional objects and spaces that weave stories unique to that time and place from elements that are familiar but intangible, such as "light," "time," "words," and "communication." . We set a framework theme from the introduction to the conclusion, and express the stories and details between people, people and objects, and objects and spaces.

Yokohama is a city that I admire especially for its beautiful night view, cityscape, and historic buildings. I was born and raised in Kanda, Tokyo. My daily life is quite chaotic due to my family business and local circumstances. Since I was a child, I have been familiar with Edo people's festivals, but this is my first time participating in a highly designed event created by young people, and I am looking forward to it. After graduating from a four-year university, I traveled to overseas cities, which opened my eyes to the beauty of urban landscapes, architecture, and sophisticated design, and I also studied design.
I also participated in activities such as creating reports and participating in deliberations related to urban planning and landscapes. This is my first time working as an artist, but I want to take this opportunity to realize how much I can actually create things with my hands, and I want to evolve even further. I am grateful to my parents for having the word "light" in my name, and I hope that in the future I will be able to create works that explore the idea of light.
