My research philosophy
Through research, the researcher tries to create new things and values we didn't have before. This means that the research needs so-called "creativity." The seemingly difficult task of "conceptualizing" something can be done so long as we continue to think and rack our brains by taking interest in everything on a routine basis. In addition, Toray has a vast database of accumulated information and latest know-how on materials, as well as experts who are familiar with them. I believe that, by fully utilizing the accumulated technologies and human resources to dig our "concepts" deeper, we can make and give shape to significant creations that meet the manifest/latent needs.
