IKIGAI=

The joy of expressing my one and only self.

IKIGAI
What keeps me alive today.

When was the happiest moment in your life?

The joy of achieving your dreams, the comfort of embracing a loved one, the gratitude you feel when someone reaches out to you.

The brilliance of that moment lit the way for you and you are here now.

When was the most painful moment in your life?

The pain of parting with a loved one, the hurt of being betrayed by someone, the anxiety and fear of losing sight of yourself and wandering around

But still, you wiped away your tears, stood up, started walking again, and now you are here.

The light that makes you shine.
The power that lifts you up.
Where does it come from?


IKIGAI.
Even today, there is something that supports us from the center of life, ensuring that we never stop living.

Through IKIGAI, each person will rediscover the potential of their own life, redefine the meaning of their own life, and live their own unique self.

This is a place where people who "live IKIGAI" can learn from each other, connect with each other, and improve each other.

If all people lived IKIGAI? 
 

The concept of “Ikigai” that we, as Japanese, take for granted
IKIGAI” has been attracting attention from all over the world.

From global issues such as war and environmental destruction, to conflicts in human relationships, anxiety about the future, and personal problems, all of the suffering we face can be resolved by reclaiming the meaning of life, or
I believe that by regaining “IKIGAI,” the meaning of life, we will be able to solve these problems. 

Finding life in even the smallest things,
and turning great hardship into strength,
Japanese people have been refining their skills and polishing their hearts.

IKIGAI” is a concept to ”feel life and make the most of life.

Connect with IKIGAI and nurture IKIGAI.

and for the world.
