The Odditorium Presents: Dr Takeo Higuchi, The Man Who Can Teach You to Have a Million Ideas

Who wouldn’t want to spend an evening with a Japanese academic maverick who has trained himself to have 50 ideas a day?

Dr Takeo Higuchi began his extraordinary creative experiment in 1984. Forty-two years later, he has recorded more than 650,000 ideas across 580 notebooks, worn out more than 1,200 biros, and created two enormous walls of thoughts, passions, plans and obsessions. Perhaps he has even made a physical map of his own brain.

And he’s not finished yet. Takeo is heading towards one million ideas. With AI yapping at the heels of human creativity, perhaps it’s time the rest of us upped our game.

Come and spend an evening with a remarkable Japanese original — and find out what happens when one human being decides to take the power of his own imagination seriously.
