In the emerging era of the "creative society," creativity stands as the key attribute. We at Iba Lab are committed to exploring and defining 'creative literacy' — a forward-thinking take on literacy that goes beyond reading and writing to foster creation for realizing a better future, and we will continue to dedicate our efforts towards this endeavor. Our focus spans three exciting areas: manga, generative AI, and pattern languages.

Starting from the 2024 academic year, we are committed to conducting our research meetings in English. While not all faculty and student members are proficient in English, this initiative aims to welcome members who do not speak Japanese and foster inclusive activities. This approach also serves to improve our English communication skills through regular practice. Projects will vary in their language use: some in English, others in both Japanese and English, and some only in Japanese. For detailed information, we encourage you to review the project descriptions.

We will hold the Iba Lab information session on January 18 during the 6th period in classroom i11.
Note that the entry deadline is January 23rd.

The Subculture Factory research group will attempt to create its own entirely original subculture from
the ground up. Using a hodgepodge of obscure films, music, writings, and artwork for inspiration and
direction, we will embrace the absurdity of this endeavor and revel in the freedom of thought and
expression that the unlikeliness of immediate renown allots us. Though we will suspect that such
breakthroughs cannot be forced, through the insistence of the instructor we will doggedly manufacture
our shared identity, distinctive meanings, and resistance to “conventional” society. At every turn, we
will ask ourselves, “What would Damo Suzuki do?” In moments of advanced indecision, we will
consult Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies advice cards. Our forever incomplete,
always expanding, list of heroes will include: Björk, David Lynch, Naoko Yamano, Rob Halford, and
Thundercat. We use the word “factory” in honor of Andy Warhol and the scene that gave birth to the
Velvet Underground, who we believe to be the most important rock band in history. The Subculture
Factory research group hopes to attract artists, musicians, writers, performers, visionaries, enthusiasts
of any kind, and misfits. Our core belief is that destined creative interactions and cross-pollinations
lead to works of staggering beauty.

Classes are built around students presenting research related to subcultural writings, movies, music,
and artwork. The students will present their findings and interactions with this material as research.
They will not simply be describing these works, but developing interpretations while connecting the
work to subcultural theories or sociological concepts. Each class will include students presenting their
research while their classmates give feedback, and the instructor gives detailed guidance. We will focus
on nine subcultures (art scenes, music scenes, creative movements, etc.), before the seminar shifts to
a workshop style Subculture Factory for the last four classes.

We will be exploring fundamental mechanisms that are creating new trends (such as sharing services and trust based business models) in the economy and society. We believe that emerging information technologies are changing the foundations of today's society and thereby changing the way societies (including businesses) function. We might call it emergence of a new civilization. The way businesses are organized, the way we work, and how the wealth is distributed will all have to change. This seminar aspires to understand the nature of the new civilization and envision how businesses (act of sustainable creation of value) will look like in the future.

In order to look into the future, we should also understand how and why the present systems came to be the way they are now. We also need to base our thinking on the realities, rather than fiction. This means we will have to study evidence in the history and the present to find for clues that may indicate our future.

To this goal, the classes will consist of (1) basic training of business including fundamentals of accounting, (2) readings on basics of business, (3) readings/discussions on the emerging character of business in the digital age, and (4) case discussions on various topics.

There will be reading assignments and discussion sessions using selected papers on the relationship between technology and business. In addition to the selected readings, there will be an accounting test each week based on Piper, Mike (2013), “Accounting Made Simple: Accounting Explained in 100 Pages or Less”, Simple Subjects. and Brison, Stuart (スチュアート・ブライソン）(2020), "Introduction to Accounting in English （英語で学ぶ会計入門）," Chuo Keizai（中央経済）.

We will learn and practice the Aynu language and Aynu oral literature, and explore the anthropological thinking (cultural anthropology, social anthropology, linguistic anthropology) behind these topics. Students can freely develop their individual research themes and topics, and those researching the Aynu language and Aynu oral literature will receive strategic support from this research laboratory.

SFC kotan: Aynu Language and Aynu Oral Literature
We will learn and practice the Aynu language and Aynu oral literature, and explore the anthropological thinking (cultural anthropology, social anthropology, linguistic anthropology) behind these topics. Students can freely develop their individual research themes and topics, and those researching the Aynu language and Aynu oral literature will receive strategic support from this research laboratory.

Although Aynu peoples are officially recognised as indigenous peoples of Japan, there are still few academic spaces where students can research on the Aynu language and culture. In this seminar, we learn the Aynu language, realise field visits to Hokkaido, and learn from (and engage in) the efforts to revitalise the language, and delve in to the world of Aynu culture through their oral narratives. All students participating in this research seminar will learn the language, but their personal research projects can span other topics. We welcome students interested in fieldwork-based social science and humanities, language revitalisation, and literary studies.

This is a seminar on American politics and foreign policy. The focus is on current affairs. Students are to choose their own research topic and conduct their own independent research.

In the world of data science, it requires the ability to grasp the process of data generation accurately and at the same time imagine its depths, as well as a high sense of ethics. All kinds of data such as weather, finance, transportation, logistics, and various sensors in our daily lives are connected to human activities. Each individual's "brain and body state." However, because those who handle the data do not have the proper medical knowledge and accurate understanding of the background of the data generation or the destination of the data, i.e., the human "brain and body state," the solutions derived are not directly related to the human activity itself, especially in the field of health care. In particular, in health care, almost nothing has been reflected in clinical practice.
The research group consists of a wide variety of projects, including the development of pioneering diagnostic and treatment support technologies, the design of healthcare systems that integrate into daily life, the creation of financial theories and insurance systems for the next generation, the prototyping of applications for daily use, and the detection of abnormalities through the distribution of information among systems. In addition, they will be directly involved in technology and system development from mathematical models, data analysis and correct interpretation, data structure design, business model planning, and advanced intellectual property strategy. This research is directly related to human life, so we must take it seriously.
Through this project, I would like people to realize that every aspect of our daily lives is tied to the "state" of the human body, which is a generic term for changes at the cellular level. This life constitutes the family, society, and country. In other words, I want them to develop the ability to look at the world from a bird's eye view, imagine and design systems from multiple dimensions, discuss what the next-generation healthcare system should be, and think about a sustainable eco-system that transcends generations. We will discuss what the next generation healthcare system should be and aim to acquire the ability to create a sustainable eco-system and create a cyclical business model. You will surely acquire a foundation of approach and thinking that will be useful for your future.
This seminar will be conducted in conjunction with the practical course "Entrepreneurship and Management," so it is recommended that students take both courses as a set.

The accelerating change from providing products and services based on mass production and mass consumption to an era that requires an individualized response. In other words, the products and services of the next generation must be in line with the decisions of individuals. In this seminar, we will study the processes and strategies necessary for the creation and operation of businesses that will become the foundation of a new society and the ideal form of entrepreneurs who will implement these processes and strategies, using a variety of cases (examples).
Entrepreneurship is often referred to as "entrepreneurship" these days, but the term "entrepreneur" refers to an "entrepreneur," and the term "ship" refers not to a spirit but to a "way of being. This has been a universal concept since Schumpeter defined creative destruction (innovation) as the essence of capitalism in his book "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy" published in 1942, and called entrepreneurship the ideal form of the entrepreneur who carries out such innovation.
The purpose of this study group is to develop a keen and rich sensitivity to discriminate between right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, which is essential for entrepreneurship, a prerequisite for future leaders, tolerance to listen to diverse values that differ from one's own, and the ability to take action and produce results by overcoming all kinds of resistance and opposition.

We will be reading a textbook written by Ben Bernanke, as we did last semester. If necessary, lectures on international macroeconomics will be given using another textbook (Mishkin). We will be also reading newspaper articles.
