Play piano with one finger! 🎹 Tokyo University of the Arts' "Daredemo Piano®" is an AI piano that syncs accompaniment and pedals. Via smartphone app, it is enjoyed in hospitals, schools, and welfare facilities. This tech fosters a society where all share the joy of expression.🌟

Even in the rainy season, wisdom brightens daily life. 🌸 "Tsuyu" sweets bring richness. "Minazuki's" triangular ice wards off heat and its azuki dispels evil, while hydrangea treats express glistening petals unique to this season. Why not add one to your teatime? 💐

The "mui board" is a wooden smart home controller where Japanese aesthetics meet tech. 🪵 It embodies "Calm Technology"—looking like simple wood but with a touch supporting daily life. It brings warmth and innovation together, redefining our relationship with tech. 🌍

🏡 Imagine a stay as a key to a region. At Satoyama Jujo in Minamiuonuma, Niigata, checking in is just the entrance. This revived 150-year-old inn offers local cuisine and a food tour of local ingredients to connect guests deeply with the land. 🌍

Generating electricity from...basically anything!?💡 Imagine getting power from soil, vegetables, brick, glass, shell...even a baguette! This may be the path to electric self-sufficiency with a Japanese company finding ways to capture power from over 4,000 different substances⚡

Arita, Saga Prefecture, birthed Japanese porcelain, famed for white ware with vivid red and indigo painting. For “2016/,” a 400th-anniversary brand, Kirstie van Noort used discarded black stone for a new expression. Global eyes saw “impurities” become its new color.✨

Spot it. Snap it. Protect it.📱🦋 Biome, developed by a university startup, uses AI to identify living things from smartphone photos. It gamifies nature sightings, then shares data gathered across Japan with companies to help assess their impact on nature near their sites.🌿

50 years with forests, 50 more ahead—the 100-Year Forest Initiative in Nishiawakura, a village in Okayama Prefecture.🌲 By managing private forests with village funds and utilizing local timber, this community creates work, welcomes new people, and grows with its forests.🌿

Tour guiding from home.🏠 In Tokyo’s Nihonbashi, people who have difficulty going outside can guide tour participants remotely through OriHime, a small avatar robot.🤖 Even from home, they bridge people and the city. This is a new form of tech-enabled social participation.

JICA's 2010 project enhanced Türkiye’s disaster education via master teachers. This led to a 2021 Turkish "BOSAI Koshien" (modeled after a Japan contest) for youth to invent disaster games. Crucially, the expertise and personnel also aided 2023 quake recovery. 🏫🌍

Seaweed grows a forest? 🌊🌲 Hokkaido’s Cape Erimo, once a barren "desert" harming fisheries, used a method of covering seeds with washed up seaweed to restore it. Locals formed the Society to Protect the Greenery of Cape Erimo to pass down the mission to protect forest & sea. 🌍
