The research project with Nishitetsu Store Inc., Ihara, Ikeda, and Toh laboratories worked on the creation of visuals that would make it easier for employees, and customers to understand the vision that the company aims to realize by 2035. The students and Nishitetsu Store employees deepened their understanding of the vision through workshops, and the result was an overview map of the future and 16 future scenes (icons) that promote all the employees understanding and lead to action. These items are being used in company workshops for employees since April 2023 and is also being considered for use in a variety of other tools from now on.
