The word “journal” means a “specialized journal”, but it often refers to something with somewhat rigid content, such as economics, politics, and academia. On the other hand, it also means a personal “diary” or “journal”. “with Journal” is a pioneering “highly specialized column” written by a professional in that field, aiming to go back and forth between the two. I wanted readers to enjoy it as close to them as they would read their own diary when they happen to have a chance. In an era of rapid change and high uncertainty, I believe that “knowledge acquired through learning and thinking” will be a weapon for surviving in the future.
