Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Nov. 29, 2015)

The Japanese page was initially posted on Sept. 17, 2015, but no English page has been prepared till today because it is hard for me to translate detailed descriptions on social issues into English.

Nevertheless, I wrote the Top Page (and the Update Announcements) of this site "TRIZ Home Page in Japan" in Japanese and in English in parallel.

Thus I have decided to make this brief introduction page in English by just recording such descriptions in the Top Page, as a temporary record of the series of Japanese pages.

Forum: Visual Thinking with 'Fuda-Yose' (4) --　Thinking over the poverty in the Japanese Society: Elderly, Middle aged, Young, and Child Generations (Sept. 17, 2015)

Toru Nakagawa (Osaka Gakuin Univ.), Sept. 10, 2015

I am going to start a series of pages on the theme, which is very big, complex, and important, as shown above, and wish to contribute to the society even little by little.

My intentions are:

(1) TRIZ/USIT is an approach of focusing and analyzing problems mostly in technical fields, but CrePS is demanded by the society to be applicable to big and complex problems in wider, different fields. So we should try to extend the usage of our methodology.

(2) For handling big and complex problems, we should better visualize the problems from full perspectives. The Fuda-Yose tool is expected to be useful for this purpose.

(3) Among a large variety of problems in the Real World, I chose this social problem because of its importance.

(4) The increasing poverty in the elderly generation , coupled with the low income for the young, tight living for the middle aged, and poverty effected on children, is going to give serious effects on the Japanese society in future.

(5) The politics in Japan is in a miserable state. Especially, Shinzo Abe's government is full of untruth and proceeds against the majority of Japanese people. We ourselves need to think over various problems logically and to speak out and act for making the future of Japan much better.

Having these intentions in mind, I am going to select some good references for visualizing the problems and wish to build up a methodology applicable to solving such complex problems.

Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Apr. 21, 2016 (in Japanese), Apr. 27, 2016 (in English))

As the result of writing Discussions on 82 customer reviews on "The Low-living Elderly" Book , I noticed that there exists an important problem undelying deep in the social philosophy. Thus I have started to post new working papers with a very big theme: "Liberty vs. Love: The Principal Contradiction of the Human Culture and the Human Culture for Solving the Principal Contradiction" (Toru Nakagawa). Please refer to the articles and communicate your thoughts..
