[1] WTSP Outputs: Catalog of TRIZ-related Sites in Japan
     (92 sites in Japanese and selected 25 site in English)
     Toru Nakagawa

A full manuscript for the Catalog of TRIZ-related Sites in Japan has been posted (in Japanese on Mar. 17) as a preliminary part of the WTSP World Catalog.

It introduces 92 sites, describing in 2 to 8 lines each. It is remarkable that about 2/3 of the sites are new sites in these 10 years. Almost all the sites are posted in Japanese only.

In English, selected 25 TRIZ-related sites in Japan (type (a)) are introduced with annotation, posted on Apr. 4.

Most of the sites are written only in Japanese, but there are some sites written in English as well as in Japanese.

Some of the sites are particularly mentioned here briefly:

01 (a)(d) TRIZ Home Page in Japan　(Toru Nakagawa):
     Most active site since 1998 posting TRIZ articles and papers internationally.

03 (a)(c) Japan TRIZ Society (NPO):
     Nation-wide center for promoting TRIZ, organizing Japan TRIZ Symposium every year.

09 (a)(b) IDEA Corp. (Mamoru Zenko):
     Active consulting firm promoting integral use of QFD-TRIZ-TM and Goldfire software.

10 (a)(b) MOST (Kazuya Yamaguchi):
     Consulting firm promoting integral use of QFD-TRIZ-TM and AI (big data analysis).

12 (a)(b) Ideation Japan, Inc. (Teruyuki Kamimura):
     Actively promoting Ideation-TRIZ, strong in IP field.

14 (a)(g) TRIZ Study (Shinsuke Kurosawa):
     Posting many papers by G. Altshuller and other Russian authors in Japanese translation.

16 (a)(b) Pro-Engineers (Shigeru Kasuya):
     An active consultant promoting TRIZ/USIT, posting many introductory articles.

17 (a)(b) IdeaPlant (Rikie Ishii):
     Conducting workshops for enhancing idea generation; developed 'TRIZ Brainstorming Cards'.

18 (a)(e) Monodukuri.com (Osamu Kumasaka):
     Active portal site connecting Issues in monodukuri (60 issues) to Methods for solutions (118 methods) by getting support of many professionals. This is a nice new business model, I think.

Catalogs like this in each country and at the global level should be very useful for many people who want to learn TRIZ and creative problem solving methods.

Learning the existence and activities of these many TRIZ-related sites, we TRIZ practitioners are much stimulated:

Let's work Together!, Connected!! for building up the world Catalog in World TRIZ Sites Project (WTSP)!!!

Best wishes, Sincerely,

Toru
