"Stupid Creation Research Institute," a dream talk event featuring silly creators known for creating things however they like, is being held for the first time in a while!

In addition to a must-see flagship project for manufacturer planning staff and a homework presentation competition based on a common theme, we will be delivering a packed program of content, including activity reports from each creator and merchandise for sale!

Nissin Foods, who are sponsoring us for the second time since Vol.9, will once again not be announcing the theme in advance!
It will be a joy to watch, as we wonder how the creators will overcome these ever-increasing hurdles!? Or will they just slip under them!?

Please come and witness the event in person (there will be no webcast or social media updates on the day).

The special guest will be Marina Fujiwara, CEO of Muda Inc. and founder of "Mudazukuri," which has created over 300 "useless inventions" to date!

A look at the forefront of silly manufacturing, brought to you by some pretty strange creators who have simply blindly believed in their own paths and forged ahead!

*Souvenirs (hush money) are available.

He holds solo exhibitions, workshops, writes, and engages in educational activities both in Japan and overseas, with the theme of creativity lying between "practical and useless."

・Modern Art Private
An art unit consisting of Kagotani Shane and Fujiwara Katsuhito.
Both are from Osaka and graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts with a major in sculpture. They began exhibiting their works in 1992. Just as there are cheap sweets in the world of sweets, they believe that there should be "cheap art" in contemporary art, and they continue to create "cheap art" that can be enjoyed by anyone who sees it, adding a humorous spice to the somewhat stiff contemporary art. They have participated in numerous exhibitions and group exhibitions. They are currently expanding the scope of their activities to include planning gachapon capsule toy machines and developing merchandise.

・Crayfish Works
A multi-creative company run by just two people: Taro Takekasa and Yoshitane Sakamoto.
While focusing on the planning, development and design of toys that stimulate users' imaginations, such as "Korejanai Robo," "Self-Destruct Button," "Dogeza Strap," and "Coin of Destiny," the company also produces a wide range of content that is not limited to any particular genre, including character design, songwriting, and story writing. Korejanai Robo won the Good Design Award in 2008.
