Clearnote Users Showcase Their Diverse Learning Experiences at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

Exploring the Creativity of Learning: Clearnote's Notebook Exhibition

From July 27 to August 2, 2026, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum will host the 'Notebook Exhibition' as part of the 14th Interesting Calligraphy Exhibition and #Penmanship Contest 7, supported by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. This exhibition will feature a wide array of learning notes created by Clearnote users, showcasing various learning styles and backgrounds.

A Unique Opportunity to Experience Learning

The 'Notebook Exhibition' emerged from a simple question: "What kind of notes do others write?" Each note reflects the writer's unique approach to learning, showcasing both their creativity and individuality. Visitors will have the freedom to explore these notes, much like turning the pages of a book, and appreciate the diversity of educational experiences.

Some of the highlights include:

- Self-organized notes summarizing class content.
- Study notes created by students aiming for their desired schools.
- Handmade notes by mothers to support their daughters’ learning journeys.
- Notes crafted by students from Thailand, highlighting their cultural expressions of education.

This exhibition promises a rich exploration of the myriad forms learning can take, capturing the essence of various educational backgrounds and purposes.

The Value of Learning Processes in the AI Era

In an era dominated by the instantaneous information retrieval capabilities of AI and digital technologies, the value of traditional note-taking is often overlooked. Notes encapsulate not just the final answers, but also the thoughts, struggles, and learning processes of individuals. Clearnote recognizes the immense worth in the journey of learning, which is vividly illustrated in the notes on display.

Through this exhibition, visitors are encouraged to engage with different learning methods, inspiring them to pick up a pen and start writing or learning anew.

A Message from Clearnote’s CEO

Yoshikazu Yamada, the CEO of Clearnote, shared his insights on the exhibition:

“Notes reflect not only the learned content but also how individuals strive to understand the subjects. Whether filled with structured details or chaotic scribbles, each note tells a story of learning. We are delighted to present notes born from diverse contexts – classroom experiences, exam preparations, family support, and international studies – at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. I hope visitors will appreciate the unique ingenuity and joys of each learner's journey, beyond mere perfection or correctness.”
