Hello, thank you for being deeply interested in learning about MiseNoMa. I’m Satoko the founder of “KoLe SHIKOKU, Japan”(KoLe). While “MiseNoMa” is the name of KoLe’s community online event—a member-exclusive, spontaneous drop-by, one-on-one Zoom, casual communication opportunity—it is also a Japanese word for a front room of a Japanese merchant-style house.

Misenoma is used as a store for customers, collaborating businesses, and visitors who drop by to talk about the business. Although my family hasn’t run any business from this house since I became aware of things, we have been calling the room “mise,” which means store or shop, until today.

*My grandfather used to run a business from this house when he was much younger.

I still remember when my grandparents were alive and younger, many visitors came and went. They talked with my grandparents in the “Misenoma” about all sorts of things that the younger me could not understand. I know and remember enough that the room was filled with vibrant energy and a sense of community.

I was thinking about a way for us (you and me) to communicate as if I had a physical store. You can just drop by and have a quick chat or talk about business while all of us stay in our locations. I decided to use Zoom to recreate the experiences. Now I need a name for it.

Then, a memory flashed back: the muffled voices and clear, huge laughter I used to hear from Misenoma in my family house while I was playing in the next room when I was little and visiting my grandparents. “Misenoma! That’s exactly what I want to recreate!” I thought. 

For KoLe’s dream to succeed, we need many people with different backgrounds but similar hopes for our future to work together. I started this event so MiseNoMa could be an online community where we can all enjoy a positive and friendly community, just like the Misenoma room at my family’s house. I’m really looking forward to having you join us.
