Hello! I’m Mone Nagahama, a third-year student in the Inagaki Seminar.
On June 4th, during our Zenmai session, Mizobe-senpai gave a presentation on the theme of “Monochrome and Nature.” It was especially exciting to hear that this theme connects to their individual research project, which made me even more excited for the upcoming exhibition.
We also worked with the Open Campus Executive Committee to shoot a video. Inspired by the rainy weather forecast, we created colorful teru-teru bozu (traditional Japanese weather charms) out of tissue paper and hung them from the walkway on campus. Although the rain didn’t come as expected, the teru-teru bozu swaying under the blue sky felt even more special, and it turned out to be a very fun activity!

On June 25th, Ms.Sato gave a presentation about Image of Color. I found it very interesting to learn about the impressions that colors have on people. I was especially surprised to learn that this idea is also applied to corporate logo designs.
In our group discussion, we finalized the details for our exhibition at Design Festa on July 5th and 6th. We decided on the poster and the details of the wall art. I absolutely love the poster design. It’s super cute!
Next time, we will be conducting experiments and steadily preparing for the event!
Hello! This is Nakagoshi from the Inagaki Seminar, a third-year student.
On the 28th, Mr. Mizobe gave a presentation about his individual research from last year and his plans for this year’s individual research. He plans to continue creating works focusing on monochrome and nature, just like last year. We are looking forward to the individual research exhibition.
Then, during our seminar activities, we discussed the content of the video to be used for the upcoming open campus. After gathering numerous ideas, we decided to create an installation by hanging many teru teru bozu (traditional Japanese weather charms) along the connecting corridor between the Ouchiyama Campus and the Fujimi Gate, considering the forecast of rain next Wednesday. We hope to capture some wonderful footage.
In the latter half of the session, we divided into teams for the Digital Content Contest (DigiCon) video production project and proceeded with our individual tasks. Ideas are gradually taking shape, and some teams have already scheduled their filming. We look forward to seeing the final works.
Today’s Zenmai was about “Pattern” by Riri Suzuno. The design of the presentation was so lovely♡
We also watched a report on NHK’s program about International Report “国際報道2025” on the 13th about survivors of the drug war in the Philippines, which was covered by seminar alumnus Ms. Tokunaga.
I respect her very much for appealing to the world through her work based on what he felt from the activities of the seminar.
After the seminar and program viewing, we shared our ideas for the Design Festa and decided on the direction of the work.
We are also working on the Digital Contents Contest in our own groups!
In the last activity, we visited Ishikawa Productions and observed a video editing site.
We observed the production process and work content while actually watching the editing process. It was a very valuable experience for us to see how the variety shows we usually watch are made, with explanations from the staff.
I would like to apply what I learned this time to the video production for the next on-campus digital contest:)
I introduced an art event called LLUM BCN in Zenmai! It’s an event focused on light and illustration, so if you’re interested, definitely check it out!
This time, we held a video production workshop in preparation for the Digital Content Contest! Each person added a drawing, and we created a stop-motion animation.
After the seminar activities, we all went out for Chinese food! Every table was lively and everyone seemed to be having a great time!
Hello! I’m Minori Fukuju, a fourth-year student and the seminar leader for the spring semester!
The activities for the Inagaki Seminar for the 2025 academic year have started! We’re excited as 11 new seminar members have joined, making it much livelier!
Today, we had an orientation and self-introduction session. There are many seminar members with diverse hobbies and cheerful personalities, so the class was filled with smiles ☺️
I’m looking forward to the upcoming seminar activities!!
