The “100 years of life” era is coming
50 years in the second half of life is too long.
How do you spend it?
Just under being nursed by your family?
Do you just pursue your own hobbies?
Entering the perfect nursing care home?
Do you stay at home alone?
The latter 50 years of ageing is an unknown world for mankind.
You wish to do something, but what could you do...?
“Our institution” answers to this question
“Re-Ageing” is not “finished or mature” but “forming or becoming.” And it also means “reconsidering constantly the ageing”. To age is to live and change the way of the last 50 years of life. We need a New Ethics to recreate “a new way of ageing.” “Our institution” shows the New Ethics of the era of “100 years of life”.
What "Our institution" offers?
The healthy elderly say, “I wish to do something, but I do not know what to do.”On the other hand, disparity between the rich and the poor, nursing care fatigue, loneliness and anxieties about after-death have been rapidly spreading.
Looking around surroundings, the young feel burdens and hopelessness.
What we need is a New Type of the elderly to form various communities.
The point is what to do “for and with” the young.“Our institution” explores and presents suitable models of the new elderly type.
What "Our institution" helps?
It presents to the elderly the way of living in the second half of life.
For the young, does it present the way of living in the first half of life.
The elderly receives the energy from the young,
The young learns how to age from the elderly.
With both generations’ collaborations, Japanese Society is to be sustainable.
That is the purpose “Re-Ageing society” aims for.
