Daiichi Shofuku Maru
For humans, whose natural environment is a life on land, spending long periods at sea is stressful both physically and mentally.
To achieve this balance, the design actively incorporates land-based elements that contrast with sea-based elements, such as the verticality of plants that grow vertically against the horizontality of the ocean surface, the straight lines of concept design and windows against the curves of waves and fish, and the weight of trees and rocks against the floating feeling of ships and bubbles.
The exterior design features a deconstructed and reconstructed shop name, with Japanese patterns reminiscent of lanterns and kumiki joinery.
