Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum

【project overview】

The Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum opened as Japan's only museum dedicated to carpentry tools, based on the theme of "connecting people and nature, connecting tradition and innovation." Carpentry tools, especially those of high quality, face the harsh fate of being used until they wear out and eventually disappear. To pass on the excellence of these disappearing carpentry tools and the "spirit of craftsmanship" to future generations, the museum is designed to allow visitors to experience the skills, wisdom, and dedication to their work through life-size models and tools, videos, photographs, workshops, and other sensory experiences. Our company assisted with design, layout, interior administration, construction, and construction management of the museum.

【customer's voice】

They delved deeply into each theme, pursuing the best possible concept design for each displays, not just superficial aspects. Even during construction, they carried out the work very carefully, including checking prototypes. By introducing participatory displays that were not present in the old building, the number of family visitors increased, and the expected results were achieved.
