Stepping Beyond "I Can't" The feeling of "It's impossible" isn't a dead end; it's the quiet signal that untapped potential lies just beyond the line we've drawn. This moment of overwhelm is precisely the opportunity to open a door to possibility and forge a creative bridge to a Possible World.

Date:  November 20, 2025 Location:  Online (Zoom) Hosting Team:  Aya Matsuyama (Australia), Sekan (Tokyo), Asuka (Osaka) 🌏 Session Overview "This is not a lecture. You are not Passengers; you are Crew." With these opening words from the host, the Possible World Discovery Session  began. The theme of our journey was "Awareness of Possibilities and Action." Members gathered from diverse backgrounds and locations—Darwin, Tokyo, Osaka, Chiba, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima—embarking on

Possible World Session Insights (11/19/25): 9 participants sought collective goals, but only 4 achieved individual targets. The simulation revealed a booming Economy (22) while Environment (7) and Society (11) lagged, fueling "frustration of not being able to control... the bigger picture." The key kizuki was the need to transcend small-group reliance for broader action, exemplified by Febriani's successful healthcare-conservation model.

Global challenges require us to recover humanity and shift leadership by fusing technology with cultivated wisdom. The key is internalizing knowledge into embodied Wisdom via simulation and personal experience, fostering empathetic decision-making. Guided by Onko-chishin, we share Japan's wisdom (Taru o Shiru, Mottainai) as a pathway for human recovery. Our mission: fuse tech/wisdom and share Japanese culture globally. Leaders, join us to fulfill your calling and co-create

The atmosphere was pure fervor, driven by deep respect and passion. Yet, that heat made me reflect: What about leadership based on deep respect for others? Strong Influence or Inspire creates an unintentional "wall," pushing away differing voices. I'm drawn to the Inviting Leader: one who quietly embodies their path, keeps the door open, and fully trusts the other's unique potential—the "Asanoha pattern" of connection.

Discover the Energising Cycle of work! 💡 Your job isn't just a task; it's a choice between the Draining Cycle of necessity and the Energising Cycle of excellence. Inspired by cleaners finding their Ikigai (purpose) in Haneda, we argue that Professionalism = Pride + Care. This universal mindset elevates output, earns respect, and fuels lasting satisfaction. Any world is up to our Mindset and Action. Possible World.

I spent three hours with 30 diverse students at the University of Sydney, guiding them through a simulation. Initially trapped by their need for rules, they soon realized they could create their own. A small act of courage—one student crossing the room to talk to another group—created a ripple effect, shifting the conversation from competition to collective vision.

Young people's "immaturity" is their greatest strength—their potential to make powerful contributions. My program "Possible World" proved this by embodying the philosophy of "ba-zukuri" (the Japanese concept for creating a meaningful space). The final presentations showed a genuine confidence and a clear sense of self-awareness, as each person blossomed in their own direction. This showed me that it is our role as adults to create the "Ba" where their infinite potential can f

The "Possible World" program, which uses a card-based game to help high school students explore global challenges and brainstorm solutions, was recently featured in the Boso Shimbun, a local newspaper. The program was a key component of the Minamiboso Intercultural Summer Camp, organised by a citizens' group as a first step towards establishing a new international school in the region.

In a world still dominated by Western individualism, what does Japanese culture ask of us? It's rooted deep in concepts like "listener responsibility" in Japanese and the very idea of "relationship" (kankeisei) embedded in the kanji for "human being" (ningen). Why does the subtle, often invisible sense of "ma" (space/interval) play such a huge role in Japanese society and individual identity? Dive into its profound depth.
