Atsuko Isamoto
Editor and Media Aggregator

Japan has approximately 430 inhabited islands. It took Atsuko Isamoto, though, to create a website called Ritokei linking them all together. With the aid of local magazine editors, business advertising directors, and illustrators, she established Ritokei in 2010 to consolidate news from remote islands, operating under the theme “Let’s light a fire under Japan’s remote islands.” Updated daily, Ritokei offers insights into island events, economies, products and more.

Since the current Internet environment tends to be light on information geared toward remote islanders, there is now a beautifully laid-out quarterly print version of Ritokei as well.
In 2012, Ritokei won a Lohas Design Award from the LOHAS Club. Atsuko’s current pursuit, called the Island Books Project, involves assembling a collection of publications on Japan’s remote atolls. She hopes this will result in a bookshelf dedicated to these islands in hundreds of bookstores nationwide.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
