Isaac Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Kazuki Tanaka, hereinafter "Isaac") is pleased to announce its participation in the production committee for the movie 'Muyou no Hito' (scheduled for release in January 2027), which marks the directorial and screenwriting debut of author Maha Harada.
This film is based on 'Muyou no Hito', a short story included in Maha Harada's 'Anata wa, Dareka no Taisetsu na Hito' (You Are Someone's Precious Person) published by Kodansha Bunko in 2014. It is a human drama where the protagonist, Satomi, who works as a museum guard, traces the memories of her father who died a solitary death, gradually uncovering his later years that even his family knew nothing about.
■ Regarding the Participation
'ArtX', operated by Isaac, connects galleries and collectors globally through its AI-powered platform 'ArtXCloud', working towards the digitalization and international development of the $65 billion art market.
Yuki Hariguchi, Director of Isaac, discovered art through Maha Harada's novels and launched ArtX with the desire to "enhance the presence of the Japanese art industry in the world." Maha Harada herself has experience working as a museum curator and is an author who has consistently advocated for spreading and passing on art to the next generation.
Both parties have deeply resonated with each other's approach to art and the future of the Japanese art market. Isaac decided to support the production of this film, believing that expanding interest in art through the medium of film will also lead to the development of the market. We will continue our efforts toward the advancement of the art sector.
■ Representative Comment (Yuki Hariguchi, Director, Isaac Inc.)
It was Maha Harada's novel that first introduced me to art. Ms. Harada's attitude of continuously supporting the art industry through her novels and ArtX's desire to expand the Japanese art market to the world overlap on a deep level.
We supported the production of this film hoping that interest in art will reach as many people as possible through the medium of cinema. ArtX will continue to strive for the development of the art industry.
