Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum

【project overview】

The Takenaka Set Museum opened as Japan's only carpentry tool museum with the theme of "connecting people and nature, connecting tradition and innovation". Carpenter's tools have a severe fate that the higher their quality, the more they are used until they wear out, and then disappear. It is a space where you can feel the skills and wisdom of the craftsmen and their commitment to work through the five senses such as models, tools, videos, photos, and workshops. We assisted with design, layout, interior administration, construction, and construction supervision.

【customer's voice】

We asked them to delve deeply into each theme and pursue the maximum possible concept design that is suitable for each displays, rather than just superficial matters. Even when it came to construction, we were asked to carry out very careful work promotion, such as checking with prototypes. By introducing a participatory experience type displays that was not in the old building, the number of family visitors increased, and the expected effect was produced.
