How This Publication Was Created

This book was developed by PROJECT SOLIT, an organisation practising inclusive design in Japan, in collaboration with experts, corporate practitioners, and people with lived experience working across various fields both domestically and internationally.

Through workshops, interviews, and on-the-ground observations, we carefully collected real challenges and the questions that arise directly from practice.

By reinterpreting Western DE&I theories through the lens of Japan’s social and cultural context, we engaged in a process of “translation” and “reweaving”—not to prescribe answers, but to offer language that invites readers to think alongside us.
