Over the past year and a half, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly changed the way our society works, both in terms of the global economy and the way we work individually; at the same time, it has offered us an opportunity to re-evaluate our value systems and how we define “happiness” and “wealth”. The era in which happiness was directly linked to “material wealth” is over, and we are now entering an era in which both material things and richness of the spirit are required to achieve “happiness". In this new era art and the Arts can help guide us to this richer kind of happiness; art enriches people's minds and lives, adds value to manufacturing and services, and heals hearts damaged by disappointments and disasters.

In anticipation of the post-Corona 21st century becoming a "century of culture," we will hold the " Atami Idobata Conference," inviting chief executives and council members who are working hard every day to add to the material wealth and the overall richness of the spirit of their city. The conference can be viewed online. Please check it out. " Atami Idobata Conference”
