Logmi's Exciting New Series: 'Creating the Future'

Logmi Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently launched an intriguing interview series titled 'Creating the Future' led by the editorial chief, Hajime Fujii. This series aims to shift our perspective on the stagnation many feel in today’s society, particularly among younger generations who seem to have lost excitement for the future.

A New Perspective on Today's Challenges

In the face of significant global events like the Tokyo Olympics and the Osaka-Kansai Expo, a pervasive sense of closure still lurks over Japan. Factors such as the potential resurgence of polarizing political figures and an economy that appears stagnant contribute to a growing anxiety. However, the heart of the issue might lie deeper, in a loss of enthusiasm for what lies ahead.

In this series, we will explore the vibrant energy that thrives within the Z generation, showcasing individuals who are not only preserving tradition but also reimagining it for modern times.

First Installment: Reviving Tradition – The Journey of a Young Bathhouse Owner

The inaugural article features Minato Sanjiro, a 35-year-old entrepreneur who, amidst the decline of local bathhouses, has passionately revived and innovated the traditional sento (bathhouse) experience. Leading his company, Yutanami, he has restored and revitalized ten bathhouses across Kyoto and Shiga, championing the motto, 'We will not allow bathhouses to disappear from Japan.' Chief Editor Fujii dives into Sanjiro's journey, illustrating how he breathes new life into a declining industry.
