Pecha Kucha
Pecha Kucha is a fast-paced presentation style that originated in Tokyo but has spread to over 700 cities worldwide. Each speaker only has time to show 20 slides for 20 seconds each, allowing for an array of different ideas to be shared in one night. This Pecha Kucha night will feature artist Seiichiro Osawa, writer Tomomi Furukawa and Yumi Takahashi of Reactive in Tokyo.

FuckUp Nights Tokyo, Vol. IX
FuckUp Nights is a global movement that started in Mexico in 2012 and has spread to 100+ cities in more than 35 countries around the world.
