Fragment Practice is a quiet studio for thinking. We work with fragments—notes, intuitions, scattered documents, and half-shaped ideas—to build quiet, sustainable rhythms of work between humans and AI.
Instead of asking for polished requirements or fully-formed plans, we begin from what already exists in your day-to-day practice: meeting notes, documents, logs, tensions, and questions that do not yet have a name. From there, we help you clarify, structure, and move.
This page provides a brief overview in English. More detailed service and background pages are currently available in Japanese.
Our work sits between thought architecture, AI-assisted workflows, and the design of shared knowledge. We care less about tools in isolation, and more about how people actually work with them.
We help you untangle complex ideas, synthesize scattered information, and build a backbone for your project or practice.
We design AI-assisted work rhythms that are realistic and sustainable—rooted in your actual tools, language, and pace.
We work on the documents that quietly hold an organization together: internal notes, handbooks, research summaries, and shared frameworks.
We act as a quiet thinking partner for leaders, founders, and researchers, especially around moments of change.
The entry point is intentionally light. You do not need a formal brief. You can come with fragments: scattered notes, a feeling of “something is heavy here,” or a document that no longer fits.
We listen, read, and map what is already present. This includes documents, tools, informal messages, and tacit expectations.
We surface underlying patterns and give them names: flows, protocols, roles, and boundaries between humans and AI.
We design the smallest useful artifacts—frameworks, workflows, documents—that can be tested, adjusted, and repeated.
These are the quiet constraints we work within. They shape how we design, write, and collaborate.
Good thinking needs space, not constant urgency. We design work rhythms that support focus, recovery, and continuity over time.
We treat fragments as valuable. Half-shaped thoughts often carry the real direction. Our role is to help bring that direction into form.
We do not create deliverables for their own sake. Every artifact exists only if it improves understanding, decision quality, or shared alignment.
AI is part of our practice, but never the center. We use tools to support human reasoning, not to outsource it.
Our clients are often already thinking deeply about their work. They come to us when they need a quieter, more structured space around that thinking.
Fragment Practice is founded and led by Yasuhiro Shinsho, a thinking architect and full-stack practitioner based in Japan. The studio blends systems thinking, technical understanding, and the craft of writing.
We move between research and operations, between conceptual framing and very concrete documents. Our work is often invisible from the outside, but deeply felt by the people who collaborate with us.
If you feel the need for a quieter, clearer space around your work or ideas, you are welcome to reach out with just a fragment—a short note, a heavy document, or a question that does not yet have a name.
