It had been a while since Karma Kitchen was held, so I decided to stop by.

A new film has been completed featuring Seizo Fukumoto, an actor who passed away five years ago.

I traveled to Kyoto to attend the film’s preview screening.

I went to see Salin, a professional drummer, as she held her very first live performance in Japan.

Her music feels very gentle—almost as if it quietly stays close to your heart. It was a moment where my body started moving naturally to the rhythm.
The concert began at 6:00 p.m. on a weekday, and around 50 people gathered, listening intently.

I visited an exhibition by Taro Gomi, one of Japan’s most renowned picture book artists.

Since making his debut in 1973, Taro Gomi has continued to create works energetically for over 50 years and has produced more than 400 picture books.

Including those translated and published in over 30 countries around the world, the total number exceeds twice that amount.

I heard the term “effectuation” for the first time.
Since Professor Saras Sarasvathy of the University of Virginia’s business school—an expert in this field—was visiting Japan, I attended her lecture.

I believe nearly 100 people were there.
