A brainstorming-style exhibition where everyone thinks about future ideas! The inaugural exhibition by the newly launched creative incubator "Firstthing" will be held from April 17th to 22nd.

Firstthing, a creative incubator team that accompanies entrepreneurs and project owners in taking their "first step" toward realizing their visions with ideas that break conventional norms, will commemorate its launch by holding the "Firstthing of Firstthing: An Idea Exhibition Created Together" for six days from Thursday, April 17 to Tuesday, April 22 at Kōen in Nakameguro, Tokyo.

This exhibition is a "brainstorming-style display" designed to support those seeking to realize their visions. It showcases business ideas planned by Firstthing's lead members. Over the six-day period, visitors are invited to freely share and update ideas together. Using "post-it notes" as the exhibition motif, visitors can participate by writing their ideas and opinions freely on the notes. The exhibition also features seeds of ideas originating outside Firstthing, including contributions from manga artist Yutaka Uo, creator of the hit manga "Chi. - On the Movement of the Earth -" (ranked in the Manga Grand Prix for two consecutive years and winner of numerous awards including the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize), and from the international NGO Plan International, which works with children, youth, and diverse stakeholders to realize a world of equality and justice for all. The exhibition visualizes the process where thoughts from people with diverse backgrounds blend together to create a new step forward.
