aisaac inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kazuki Tanaka; hereinafter "aisaac") is pleased to announce its participation in the production committee for the film 'Muyou no Hito' (scheduled for release in January 2027), which marks the first time bestselling author Maha Harada will serve as both director and screenwriter.

This film is based on the short story 'Muyou no Hito,' included in the 2014 collection 'Anata wa, Dareka no Taisetsu na Hito' (Kodansha Bunko) by Maha Harada. It is a human drama that follows the protagonist, Satomi, a museum guard, as she traces the memories of her father who died alone, eventually uncovering a side of his later life that even his family did not know.

Regarding Our Participation 'ArtX,' operated by aisaac, connects galleries and collectors globally through its AI-powered platform 'ArtXCloud,' working toward the digitalization and international development of the $65 billion art market.

Yukie Hashiguchi, a director at aisaac, founded ArtX out of a desire to "increase the presence of the Japanese art industry in the world," having first encountered art through Maha Harada's novels. Maha Harada herself is an author who has consistently advocated for spreading and passing on art to the next generation, drawing on her own experience as a museum curator.

Both parties share a deep resonance regarding their approach to art and the future of the Japanese art market. aisaac supported the production of this film, believing that expanding interest in art through the culture of cinema will lead to the development of the market. We will continue our efforts toward the advancement of the art sector.

Representative Comment (Yukie Hashiguchi, Director, aisaac inc.) It was Maha Harada's novels that first introduced me to the world of art. Harada-san's stance of continuing to support the art industry through her novels and ArtX's vision of expanding the Japanese art market to the world overlap on a deep level.

I supported the production of this film in the hope that interest in art will reach as many people as possible through the medium of cinema. ArtX will continue to work toward the development of the art industry.

About the Film 'Muyou no Hito' This is the directorial debut of popular author Maha Harada, who has released many bestsellers, as she takes on the roles of director and screenwriter for the first time. Based on her own work 'Muyou no Hito' (included in the Kodansha Bunko collection 'Anata wa, Dareka no Taisetsu na Hito'), it is a moving human drama set in a museum that follows the memories of a daughter and her father who died alone.
