In An Age of Longevity: "Inside of Human Being × Science”
Well-being, as proposed by the World Health Organization, is not only a state of physical and mental health, but also a state of social and economic well-being and fulfillment. We merge the conflicting elements of the "invisible realm" of mindfulness and the "visible realm" of academic research results to visualize the five senses, intuition, and other areas that are difficult to capture through conventional scientific methods and academic research. As society diversifies, our mission is to create a place that proposes a way of being and living that is appropriate for the current era, a way of being and living that conventional medicine has failed to capture.
Japan has the lowest level of happiness among the seven major countries, and as we enter the age of AI, we must reconsider the fundamental question of "What is a human being? In the age of AI, there is a growing momentum to reconsider the fundamental question of "What is a human being? We hope to transmit from Japan a new era of well-being that transcends national boundaries and measures true happiness by going beyond conventional research methods, medicine, education, and religion into the invisible realm of sensitivity and intuition.
