On the 26th Anniversary of "TRIZ Home Page in Japan": Toru Nakagawa (Nov. 11, 2024)

This Website "TRIZ Home in Japan" celebrated its 26th Anniversary on Nov. 1.  It serves as an open forum of information exchange for better understanding and usage of Creative Problem Solving Methodologies.   I am very grateful to you all, including authors, co-authors, translators, and readers in Japan and around the world, for your continuing support.  

The World TRIZ-related Site Project (WTSP) posted the Catalog manuscripts contributed from Taiwan and South Korea since last Nov., but has been inactive since Jun. this year, unfortunately.  For the policy and full history of the WTSP project activites, please refer to the WTSP project index page .  The full set of documents created by WTSP is publicly available through the World WTSP Catalog Top Page (and for further details, the World TRIZ Site Catalogd (A) , the World Around-TRIZ Site Catalogs (C) ).  The latest report of this project is the paper and presentation video at the ETRIA TFC 2023 . The parts still incomplete are the catalogs of TRIZ sites in major TRIZ countries (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, etc.).  I hope that one day the World TRIZ-related Site Catalogs will be completed with these by the contribution of each coountry catalog.

Believing that research into Short-term/Imminent Earthquake Prediction is important for Japan (and the world), I joined the Earthquake Prediction Society of Japan (EPSJ) in early 2015.  At the end of 2022, I learned that "a major clue to earthquake prediction (EQP) had been obtained", and I began to support EQP research within EPSJ. On this website I have built an index page for "Earthquake Prediction Research and Disaster Prevention (Mitigation)" (Jun. 2023).  I have made a presentation at EPSJ (Dec. 2023), written a series of introductory articles on LinkedIn (Apr. 2024 -), made presentations at Japan TRIZ Symposium (Aug.. 202４)　and at the ETRIA TFC-TRAI (Nov. 2024).
As the Kamiyama method and the Tsutsui method have each achieved excellent results, we should start research projects within EPSJ by multiple research groups to confirm the effectiveness of each method. I am going to devote myself to support and promote the EQP research toward practical/official application, with the hope of reducing the damage caused by earthquakes in Japan (and the world), hopefully in 20 years.  I will use this "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" for this purpose as well as the TRIZ method and the WTSP project. I ask for your understanding and support.
