About Taiwa no Fumen

A practical catalogue for facilitators preparing meetings and workshops.

Choose a method by the work a group needs to do, then check its procedure, preparation, numbers, and limits. The English guides translate this site's Japanese adaptations rather than replacing them with different procedures.

Read the limits before using a method

A catalogue cannot establish consent, confidentiality, decision-making authority, legal compliance, or safety for a particular group. Do not use a method where its stated non-applicable conditions hold.

English implementation coverage

All 200 catalogue IDs are retained. 200 English guides are available. The historical translation registry records 3 fixed representative texts as independently accepted; those records apply to their fixed versions and do not assert acceptance of later edits or rendered pages.

English screens

  • English home, this about page, method catalogue, full index, and machine-readable index.
  • Method filters, exact headcount, zero-result recovery, reset, shareable URLs, back/forward history, and progressive 24-result windows.
  • English details from the explicit translation registry, including sources, safety, metadata, and available method-specific licence companions.
  • English privacy, personal-information request, terms, pre-sales disclosure, read-only contact, conditional completion-message reference, and English recovery pages.
  • English video-library navigation, search, and method cards. Original Japanese media remain language-labelled, with no remote player loaded here.
  • A dedicated analytics-free layout, local fonts, and no external embeds or submission forms.

Session plans and learning screens

  • 50 English session-plan texts, six-facet plan selection and source/text-SHA-bound method setup.
  • English situation guides and local compatibility routes for the original individual video links.
  • English learning and preparation-material screens, including nine practice cases, four starter panels and two kit previews.
  • Manual English phase navigation without automatic progression. The full schedule remains readable without JavaScript.

Language and operational limits

  • Historical editorial and translation records remain attached to their fixed source versions; they are not a guarantee of suitability.
  • Learning and session-plan operations are local browser functions; no account or server-side progress is provided.
  • Interactive diagram animation; the manual phase navigator alone does not establish motion parity.
  • English diagrams and translations of Japanese PDFs, video audio, subtitles, and transcripts are separate later work, not an added condition for the first English-screen release. Existing Japanese resources remain labelled and protected.
  • English contact and personal-information request pages provide read-only guidance. They do not add an English submission form or promise an intake or reply language.
  • Source-specific notices and unresolved source details remain visible. Material specifications follow the complete fixed source text; they are not newly interpreted measurements.

Sources and reuse

Original manuscript source claims and current-page material-specific licence notices are shown separately. Notices are method-specific; original editorial material does not acquire a Creative Commons licence merely because another method has one. Source-specific holds and third-party material limits remain.

Privacy boundary

These English pages make no analytics, submission, or embedded-media connections. English contact and privacy-request routes are read-only guidance. The Japanese production privacy policy describes the Japanese site; it does not activate analytics or submissions on these English pages.
