Co-facilitated a series of immersive international workshops with Tomato — one of the most influential and unconventional design collectives of the late 20th century — across Tokyo, Yokohama, Sapporo, and Kassel between 2000 and 2002.

Tomato's workshops were not design courses in any conventional sense. They were structured dialogues — intensive 10-day experiences that brought together participants from around the world to explore creativity, process, philosophy, art, and the interconnectedness of all of these things. Several Tomato members facilitated alongside participants, initiating conversation rather than dictating outcomes, creating a space where everyone taught and everyone learned simultaneously.

As co-facilitator, led participants through creative exercises integrating art, sound, movement, improvisation, sensory exploration, and cross-cultural exchange — working across language and cultural boundaries to surface each participant's individual creative process and help them see their own self-imposed limitations in a new light.

The workshops resulted in a published book — Tomato Workshops 2000–2002, published by Seibundo Shinkosha in 2003 — a bilingual Japanese/English visual and documentary record of the workshop process, participant work, and creative outcomes across the two-year series. Co-authored and designed the book alongside Ed Panar, Junko Ayata, and Toshiki Hoshino.
