This isn’t a box
It’s a process
IKIGAI4I takes place as a series of organized sessions in different spaces and cities. Each game has a venue, a date, a facilitator, a group of participants, a physical game set, and a tea tasting.

- 04Value

- Skill
- Need
- Value
This is not the final version, but a starting point. The game will test it further.
Why tea edition
Four teas are part of the game
During the game, participants taste four specially selected teas, one by one. This is part of the session structure, not just a drink on the table.
Each new tea creates a natural pause between stages: it helps participants slow down, shift their attention, notice the taste and aroma, and return to the conversation in a different state of mind.
The game journey
- Me
- World
- Others
- Me
01 · Me
This is what matters to me now
First, each participant assembles their current version of ikigai. It is a starting point, not a promise for life.
Passport · Ikigai 1.0
“My ikigai right now is…”
A first statement to revisit after the world and other people have had their say.
02 · The world
Then the circumstances change
Our direction does not exist in a vacuum. Technology, the economy, people, rules, audiences, opportunities, and life itself all change.
- What truly matters for me to preserve here?
- What can change?
- Where am I protecting the meaning?
- And where am I simply clinging to a familiar form?
- New environment
- Opportunities
- Rules
- Economy
- Audience
- People
- Technology
- Life itself
Passport · Ikigai 1.0
“My ikigai right now is…”
A first statement to revisit after the world and other people have had their say.
03 · Others
Now others see your story from the outside
Other participants listen to your choices, ask questions, and share what they notice. They do not tell you how to live, give you a ready-made answer, or assemble your ikigai for you.
“Are you choosing this, or are you simply afraid to let go?”
“What would stay if the form changed?”
“Could there be another possibility here?”
“Why exactly does this matter to you?”
04 · Me
Look again at your original version
After the changes, your own decisions, and other people’s observations and questions, you return to your first statement.
- Keep the original statement
- Refine it
- Rebuild it
- See that the real question lies elsewhere
What you take back into real life
Your own Ikigai
A more precise statement of where you want to move now.
Understanding what matters most
What you want to preserve, even if the circumstances and the way you act on it change.
Other people’s perspective
Questions and observations from people who saw your story from the outside.
Your next step
Something you can try in real life right away.
Not a final plan for life.
A clearer point to move forward from.
