To that end, we have a few things planned, but first up is the following list of questions. We invite you to respond in the comments and chat amongst yourselves.

RSA JFN Event: Facing Japan's Difficult Issues - with Love and Humour

Can love and humour help us face difficult issues and avoid polarisation? Philippe Valdois FRSA reports back from a humorous Fellows meet-up in Tokyo on Valentines day. Unmitigated love or distaste for one's own country of residence or birth is, fortunately, a rarity, but few could deny there is often a love/hate relationship at play and that when discussing serious issues, tempers sometimes flair, giving the impression that there is no middle ground to be found.

Ruskin Calling: RSA JFN Event September 27th 2018 | Divya Marie Kato FRSA

“Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.” – John Ruskin A key area of the RSA’s work is education and working towards “… an education of the head, hand and heart…”. But what does this mean in 2018? And, could the ideas of a man born 200 years ago give us some clues? As its contribution to the RSA’s Creative Learning & Development, RSA Japan Fellows’ Network ran: Ruskin Calling: Educating Hands, Heads & Hearts In The Age Of AI Approa

RSA JFN Event: Experiencing Japanese Incense Culture

On February 27, 2018, 19 participants gathered to learn about the Japanese incense from Mr. Yohei Yamada, the 18th generation owner of Yamada-matsu Incense Store keeping business ever since the beginning of 18 century Edo period.

Going Beyond Ideas Vol.4 Signs of Life

Signs of Life Speaker: Adam Fulford Adam Fulford, originally from Devon, has been living in Japan since 1981. In that time he has become increasingly interested in trying to identify aspects of East Asian culture in general and Japanese culture in particular that may be of value to everyone on their path through life. For a talk ostensibly about the importance of the human body as a catalyst for communication, kicking off with a quote from Spike Milligan took a few of us by

Going Beyond Ideas, Vol 3: Beyond Simplicity & Efficiency

Takefumi Kamio is an architect. But one who started as a mechanical engineer. And this is what has made all the difference. The roots of his knowledge are to be found in structures; structures that have sprouted a fascination with simplicity. So what does simplicity look like in architecture? Less corridors, simple spaces, removing alcoves? Perhaps the more important question we should ask is, "Is minimal space satisfying - physically and metaphysically?" "On a clear day
