Field notes
For the archaeology work, the page describes seven years of collecting 500 stone tools from the Kaw山 site and a separate effort to assemble reports of ring-shaped stone tools from cultural-property centers nationwide. Bugcreation is presented as a two-person effort by Kato and horned-treehopper researcher Sota Iwasaki. Its listed activities include insect classes and a co-creation platform; the page describes these as a direction for the company, not as established services.
