study group; co-working meetup
A gathering where participants work on their own tasks quietly, often in IT or creative fields. The name comes from 黙々 (もくもく, silently working).
I attended a study group on the weekend and made progress on my programming studies.
A mokumoku-kai is a study group where everyone focuses on their own work.
Standard kana-kanji mixed spelling; widely used in IT and study-group contexts.
Kanji spelling using 黙々 (silently, diligently); less common but still seen.
From 黙々 (もくもく, silently, diligently) + 会 (かい, meeting). The term originated in IT communities for co-working sessions where participants work on their own projects in a shared space.
