Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Original landscape is newly painted by grading colors as like dyeing Washi paper, the existing facade reborn together with a moss garden as a new landmark matched with this historical area. At the counter seats area, a guest can enjoy live kitchen as if he is an audience of "Noh" stage, a Japanese traditional theatrical arts, by featured pine tree relief made of tin. Each private room have different seasons; spring, summer, autumn and winter; to add a Japanese vibe.
- Inspiration
- Existing building was completed in 1998, it was designed a cityscape of middle of Edo period of Kitashinchi in a modern way, feature eaves came from a comb of traditional Japanese Coiffure. I set a goal to remain this existing facade and develop it by fusion between Japanese tradition and contemporary value. Dramatic space makes harmony with the existing building and historical surroundings, to be a new landmark of the area.
- Challenge
- A pine tree, symbol of Noh stage, is originally illustrated by painting. To express a contemporary value, a pine tree tin relief is made which adopted three-dimensional expression. It was challenging to make the big relief with dimensions of 1300mm x 650mm x 40mm by hand one by one, from a leaf, a stem to a branch.
