Join the AI Era Seminar: Unleash Wild Creativity

In the fast-paced world of today's creative industries, the use of generative AI is revolutionizing the way we approach photography, video production, and cinematic storytelling. Amana Inc., a leading creative communications company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, will be hosting a seminar titled "Wild Creativity in the AI Era: How Do We Represent Scents and Auras Today?" on August 27, 2025. This event promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of how AI can shape, enhance, and potentially challenge human creativity.

About the Seminar

This in-person seminar will take place at Amana’s Tennoz office and aims to foster a deeper understanding of the intersection between AI and creative expression. Following the seminar, there will be a networking event where participants can share ideas and establish connections.

As generative AI becomes increasingly prevalent, it brings both exciting possibilities and posed risks. The rapid evolution of creative processes—including conceptualization, storyboarding, pre-visualization (previz), shooting, and post-production—suggests a future where AI plays a critical role. However, this dependence on technology raises concerns about overshadowing the innate creativity that defines us as human beings.

Featured Speakers

The seminar will feature Kentaro Ichikura, a renowned creative director and filmmaker, along with Takashi Horiguchi, an imaging director at Amana. Ichikura, a graduate of Hitotsubashi University and the University of California, Santa Cruz, possesses extensive experience in the creative field, including directing and producing campaigns for major television dramas and winning prestigious awards. Horiguchi, starting his career as a graphic designer, now focuses on enhancing visual possibilities across various business contexts, bringing years of industry experience to the discussion.
