For Mr./Ms., are “working” and “learning” completely different? Without a clear vision of your future vision and purpose, you may be choosing a career path such as getting a job at a well-known company, and for that reason, applying to a famous university with a higher deviation value.
In this Future Session, we would like to invite people who have thought about their own future and carved out their own path as role models, and we would like to think together across generations under the theme of “How to connect work and learning?”
We hope that by coming into contact with diverse values, you will broaden your horizons and make use of them in your future studies and career choices.
In addition, in anticipation of future technological innovation, we will hold a meeting in Kyoto City and the northern part of the prefecture on the same day, and share role model talks and summary time online.

Rika Yajima (Representative Director, Waeru Co., Ltd.) Born in Tokyo in 1988. Graduated from Keio University Faculty of Law and Keio University Graduate School of Media and Governance. Fascinated by artisans and tradition, he began traveling around the country at the age of 19, and began working to disseminate information on Japan’s traditional culture and industry during his university years. With the desire to “pass on the traditions of Japan to the next generation,” he founded Waeru Co., Ltd. in March 2011, when he was in his fourth year of university. In March 2012, in order to create an environment where people can come into contact with the handiwork of craftsmen from an early age, he launched “AERU”, a traditional brand for 0 to 6 year olds, and created original products together with craftsmen from all over Japan. Starting with an online directly managed store, in 2014 he opened a directly managed store “AERU MEGURO” in Tokyo, and in 2015 he opened a directly managed store in Kyoto “AERU GOJO”. We are developing various businesses such as “aeru room” and “aeru oatsurae” to connect to the next generation while utilizing the traditions of Japan and the wisdom of our ancestors in our daily lives. |
