Project Highlights

yomiyomi

The yomiyomi project seeks to shift our perception of memory, transferring the essence of our experiences from people to objects. The mission is to establish a society where memories are woven into everyday life. By offering a new way to preserve cherished moments—be it a graduation ceremony or any significant event—this project revolves around the motto, "Make today's memories a lifelong talisman." The first product launched is dubbed the “Memory Activation Sticker,” a digital sticker embedded with an IC chip that can revive memories in just one second upon scanning with a smartphone. Currently, this product is being offered to corporate clients, but there are plans for a consumer rollout in conjunction with interdisciplinary expansions into art, space, and various products to propose an entirely new way of memorializing memories.
