Ideafund Co., Ltd. (Tokyo; Founder & CEO: Naoko Okawachi) is pleased to announce that the audio archive of a KYOTO Innovation Studio session featuring CEO Naoko Okawachi is now available on YouTube.
The session was held in Kyoto City on November 19, 2025. Drawing on the unique cultural context of Kyoto as a historic cultural capital, the discussion explored the future of the public sphere through dialogue with a diverse range of participants. Topics included “who creates the public, and how,” as well as what it means to cultivate a space—like a garden—where diverse and essential values can take root and flourish. Through these conversations, the session sought to envision new forms of the public grounded in the creation of imagination.
