A first in aquarium history! A "storytelling" museum themed around "life." The concept is for the staff themselves to share what they have learned from their breeding activities within Kinosaki Marine World. The visuals and displays, expanding from the message-driven copy, are treated as a single graphic, and the entire space concept design. A large, impressive 25m x 5m video conveys the message of the Toyooka region's "Stork Breeding Project" along with the dynamic beauty of nature, telling the story of its progress. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Noriyuki Iwamoto [concept design] Kenji Takahashi [Planning] Kyohei Kishida [Production] Akimitsu Kishi, Michitaka Funakura, Yonosuke Tokuda, Shigeo Nagao

This is displays project for the newly established "Akita Dog Village" in Odate City, the sacred land of Akita dogs. Taking advantage of this valuable opportunity to interact with real Akita dogs, we created displays space where visitors can learn about how to interact with Akita dogs and their relationship with Odate City in an enjoyable way. [Client's Challenges/Requests] As it is located in front of JR Odate Station and is adjacent to the tourist information center, it was necessary to create an exhibition that is easy for tourists to enjoy and provides just the right amount of information. In addition, the design of the area where visitors can interact with real dogs must be concept design to not stress the dogs, which required ingenuity. [Solution] We created a bright and comfortable space that evokes the image of a slightly adult camping trip, using tents and hammocks. Within this space, visitors can play with stamps and frottage, and learn about the history of Akita dogs born in Odate. The displays area is designed with consideration for the dogs' stress levels, and easy-to-manage cages have been introduced. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Akira Kato [Planning] Mima Inagaki [design, layout] Yu Uehara, Mika Watanabe [Production & construction] Junya Hanayama

In Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, they have been cultivating "showcase chrysanthemums," such as chrysanthemum doll dolls and "multi-flowered" chrysanthemums that produce hundreds or thousands of flowers from a single stem. However, their activities were limited to exhibitions at chrysanthemum shows and autumn chrysanthemum displays. With the desire to utilize chrysanthemums in a way that suits the modern era, in a variety of scenes and spaces, they launched the "Nihonmatsu Chrysanthemum Town Branding Project" in 2016, aiming to enhance the appeal of Nihonmatsu chrysanthemums. In 2017, the second year of the project, they requested branding services from our company, whose founding was partly inspired by the large-scale expansion of chrysanthemum doll doll exhibitions nationwide during the Meiji era, which became a major draw for visitors. Together with Nihonmatsu City, we helped to enhance the new value of Nihonmatsu's traditional chrysanthemum cultivation and evolve "Nihonmatsu Chrysanthemum Town" into a brand that can be promoted throughout Japan and the world. ◆Project Website *You will be redirected to an external website.

[Customer's Challenges/Requests] We want to brand and develop a new business around the chrysanthemum cultivation in Nihonmatsu City, where advanced horticultural chrysanthemum cultivation techniques such as chrysanthemum doll dolls and Senrinzaki remain, and make it a symbol of intergenerational exchange and community development. Furthermore, by branding Nihonmatsu City's chrysanthemums, we hope to create new businesses and new fields for second-hand chrysanthemum products (souvenirs, chrysanthemum goods, etc.), and increase employment in the tourism industry and other service industries by increasing the number of visitors who come to see the chrysanthemums. [Solution] - Marketing and market research for the floriculture and display industries, identification of challenges in product supply, and development of sales strategies - Development of brand concept - Development of brand logo and colors - Production of a product catalog to promote Nihonmatsu chrysanthemums such as "Senrinzaki," "Hyakutarin," and "Kengai" - Production of a project-specific landing page - Development of a promotion strategy - Production of a promotional video (Japanese and English) - Support and production of event participation - Holding of branding and product development seminars for local businesses - Product development support [Customer Feedback] We received many suggestions for new ways to showcase the traditional Nihonmatsu chrysanthemums, such as the creation of promotional tools that further bring out their appeal, and participation in art events that we had never considered before, allowing us to confirm the potential of Nihonmatsu chrysanthemums. Through this project, we were able to introduce "Senrinzaki" to many people both domestically and internationally, and we were able to achieve our first overseas expansion. In addition to promotion and displays, we received support in a wide range of areas, including the development of related products with local businesses and advice on the "chrysanthemum doll Exhibition," which helped to build enthusiasm among the citizens. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Hiroshi Yokota [Planning/Direction] Yuki Shimokuni [design, layout] Tomoki Fukano, Yuri Nakagawa [PR] Korei Fukazawa [Production/ construction (for DESIGNART TOKYO 2017/2018 exhibition)] Takeshi Shimada [Collaboration for DESIGNART TOKYO 2018 exhibition] Keiko Uchiyama (NOMLAB) ・NOMLAB DESIGNART 2018 exhibited work "Senrinzaki" Chrysanthemum MR http://www.nomlab.jp/jp/projects/detail/15 ・Release Information https://www.nomurakougei.co.jp/uploads/news/attachments/1/a7a75355626e63682aa71e0b4fb11fc91cfaa652524366dc8f100e9f068d9f55.pdf

[Project Description] The key point of the renewal is to ensure that visitors can keep up with the ever-evolving field of astronomy through displays. For example, we have created a system that allows the museum to independently update software to incorporate new information, and a communication space where the latest information can be displayed. The design also takes into consideration that it will serve as a place for information exchange where more than 100 registered astronomy volunteers gather every day, as well as a place for citizen activities such as explaining to visitors and presenting concept design. <Our Project Members> Art Direction: Shunsuke Shimizu concept design: Toshie Makigara Equipment concept design: Toshiyuki Suzuki Production Planning: Junichi Ito Production Management: Yu Iketani, Takeshi Shimada Producer: Shin Yoshioka

[Project Description] The "Heijo Palace Invitation Hall" is a guidance facility located within the Suzaku Gate Plaza of the Heijo Palace Site National Historic Park. It conveys the significance and splendor of the Heijo Palace Site Historic Park, a "special place" where you can feel the Nara period today, and invites visitors to the park and temples that retain the atmosphere of the past. [Client's Challenges/Requests] In order to invite visitors to the Heijo Palace Site, we aimed to create a "guidance displays that increases interest in the Heijo Palace Site and leads to a moving experience at the actual site." [Solution] We aimed to invite visitors to the field by spatializing and experientially impressing them with the "specialness of the Heijo Palace Site," which is difficult to see at the site. The zone is broadly divided into three parts: "The Present State of the Heijo Palace Site," which guides visitors through the current park; "The Appearance of Heijo Palace," which allows visitors to learn about and experience the activities of Heijo Palace in the past; and "Beyond Time," which interprets Heijo Palace and Kyoto in the past from artifacts. By changing the approach in each zone and impressing the specialness through the five senses, displays is designed to lead to a moving experience at the actual site. <Our Project Members> [Development] Haruya Miwa, Kazuya Hashizume [Sales & Project Management] Haruya Miwa [Planning] Shigeo Fujii, Yuka Sueda, Setsuko Nishimura [design, layout] Takeo Akamine, Tadashi Yuasa, Tomoyo Tsukiyama [Signage & Graphics] Yoshito Inoue, Satoko Hasegawa [Production & construction] Hayato Ichimanda, Goro Yamano, Ryohei Yamaoka, Yoshito Inoue, Katsumi Yamada, Satoko Hasegawa, Nanae Hori [public relations] Takeo Akamine, Shigeo Fujii, Yoshito Inoue, Satoko Hasegawa [Review Engineer] Kazuya Hashizume

Twenty years have passed since the museum opened, and the theme of "the relationship between the lake and humans," which has been a focus since the beginning, has been further deepened in displays. concept design displays displays landscape, field, life, and thoughts uses the passage of 20 years and the changes, as well as the relationship with people, as a starting point to unfold the present state of Lake Biwa through experiences, dioramas, and live animal breeding. In the "Creature Collection" in displays Room C, specimens of creatures inhabiting Lake Biwa and its catchment area create a space where the beauty and diversity can be felt at a glance. In the aquarium displays room, the visualization of aquatic life connects to an interest in living organisms. With the addition of the popular Baikal seal and the "Micro Aquarium" featuring microorganisms, the museum is attracting many visitors and researchers as a new form of museum.

[Project Overview] The Kagoshima Municipal Archaeological Museum was established with the aim of deepening citizens' understanding of Kagoshima City's history through the cultural heritage left behind by their predecessors and contributing to the creation of a unique civic culture. Particularly popular are the interactive displays such as the "Excavation Experience," where visitors can feel like archaeologists, and "Let's Shape with a Giant Arc," which uses a giant version of a tool for examining the shape of pottery, fostering children's interest in archaeology and the history it reveals. Our company provided comprehensive support from basic planning and design to construction. [Client's Challenges] After 20 years since its opening, the museum was showing signs of aging, and a renewal of its content and facilities was required. displays renewal aimed to realize the presentation of the latest research results, the introduction of interactive displays, and the development of bright and easily maintainable displays facilities. The direction of the plan was as follows: firstly, a regionally focused displays that pursues "Kagoshima's unique character"; secondly, a fun and educational museum aiming to "create a place for participatory experiences"; and thirdly, the development of displays environment as "creating an environment for realizing a more user-friendly facility." This aimed to create a facility where people of all ages, from children to adults, could learn about local archaeology in an enjoyable way. [Solution] The first thing that makes an impression of "Kagoshima-ness" is the huge topographical table in the center overlooking the atrium space, which includes Sakurajima and the entire city of Kagoshima. It is accompanied by easy-to-understand explanations of archaeological sites in various locations. Next, a prime example of "creating a place for participatory experience" is the hands-on corner with various items that make learning archaeology fun. And as "creating an environment that makes the facility more user-friendly," we made detailed suggestions such as airtight cases that allow humidity control, the introduction of user-friendly universal concept design, and the installation of environmentally friendly LED lighting. <Our Project Members> [Development] Tatsuya Fujii [Sales & Project Management] Tatsuya Fujii, Yumeki Kusumoto [Planning] Takeshi Kami, Kyohei Kishida, Setsuko Nishimura [design, layout] Sho Inanobe [Production & construction] Yoshito Inoue, Hayato Ichimanda, Takeshi Sue, Shin Kameoka, Nanae Hori [maintenance management] Katsumi Yamada, Takatoshi Nakamura

[Project Overview] Karatsu has long been a gateway to the continent. During the Edo period, the Karatsu Domain was an important base for the shogunate's rule of Kyushu, and it was also a historical and cultural city where unique cultures such as the Karatsu Kunchi displays and Karatsu ware flourished. Our company believed that Karatsu Castle, the starting point for Karatsu tourism, should play a role in leveraging the charm of Karatsu's brilliant history and culture and acting as a circulating mechanism for walking tours of the city. Therefore, we comprehensively reviewed the exhibits, facilities, and operations, aiming to redevelop Karatsu Castle as a comprehensive guidance facility for "walking tours" in Karatsu City, a hub that will revitalize the region by maximizing the appeal of Karatsu Castle. Our company assisted with the basic planning, design, and construction from start to finish. [Client's Challenges] There were three challenges with Karatsu Castle before the renovation. First, the client desperately wanted to update the aging facilities, outdated displays, and outdated displays themes. Second, Karatsu City's attractive resources were not being fully utilized, and there was a need for collaboration with collections and other tourist spots. The third issue was safety and cultural property preservation, requiring measures to address issues such as natural light, universal concept design, earthquakes, and theft. By solving these three challenges, we aimed to create a tourist hub befitting a "city of tourism and cultural exchange where authenticity shines, surrounded by nature, history, and culture." [Solutions] To solve the challenges, we aimed to create displays that allows visitors to enjoy Karatsu, developing displays story centered on the history of the castle town and successive castle lords, realizing an attractive displays space utilizing the Hizen Province Products Illustrations and Karatsu ware, and actively utilizing IT, such as introducing AR displays explanations. Next, aiming to create a "comfortable displays," we created a welcoming space such as a museum shop, reviewed the flow of movement within the building and took into consideration visitors with disabilities, such as foreign tourists, and installed toilets, stairlifts, and a multipurpose room. Furthermore, aiming to create a "safe displays," we enhanced the functions of the facility as an introduction to tourist Karatsu, such as a tourist information corner, promoted the ability to move around by disseminating information on sightseeing facilities, and thoroughly implemented risk management for accidents and losses. In summary, we have put forward three solutions. <Our Project Members> [Development] Yumeki Kusumoto [Sales & Project Management] Tatsuya Fujii, Yumeki Kusumoto [Planning] Takeshi Kami, Kyohei Kishida [design, layout] Masaaki Mitsunaga, Rie Morita [Production & construction] Takeshi Suezaki, Goro Yamano, Nanae Hori [maintenance management] Katsumi Yamada, Takatoshi Nakamura

[Project Overview] The museum, boasting a collection of masterpiece chairs and posters, places more emphasis than ever on concept design, aiming to become an experiential creative museum that "connects art and concept design." There are six displays rooms of varying sizes. Our company was responsible for the design and construction of the wall cases in the special displays room on the second floor. In addition to permanently displays approximately 50 chairs from the collection of about 240 chairs, we developed displays system for concept design displays room, which boasts a collection of approximately 13,000 posters. We also handled displays of works and materials by Shuzo Takiguchi and Simon Goldberg, which were donated when the museum was the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Modern Art. In the hall, we developed an experiential "interactive art" installation that creates light art through body movements. [Client's Challenge] The museum possesses a rich collection of 20th-century art and an unparalleled collection of concept design (chairs, posters). The goal is to create an experiential creative museum where visitors can freely explore this museum, deepen their knowledge of one genre, and not only grasp things in relation to various genres, but also develop a deep understanding and critical thinking skills. [Solution] We created distinctive displays spaces tailored to the theme of each displays room, including displays fixture planning, color scheme planning, lighting plan, and video/sound plan, resulting in memorable art and concept design experiences. Furthermore, we introduced "interactive art" in the hall, where visitors create light art through body movements, contributing as an element of an experiential, imaginative museum that connects art and concept design. <Our Project Members> [Development] Atsushi Ishikawa [Sales/Project Management] Atsushi Ishikawa [design, layout] Yasushi Kasuga [Production/ construction] Shunichiro Nagayama [Video] Akinori Goto

[Project Overview] This project involves the complete beautification and renovation of the existing Seibu Chichibu Station building, with the aim of creating a new vibrant hub for regional tourism that brings together the diverse attractions of the Chichibu area and disseminates them to the world. Through the selection of materials unique to Chichibu, such as locally produced cedar wood and lanterns, and the creation of an original logo, the project communicates the diverse charms of the Chichibu area. Our company assisted with everything from the concept to the basic concept design of the architecture and interiors, and design supervision. [Client's Challenge] The client wanted a station building that would heighten the expectations of customers heading to the tourist destination and leave a lasting impression on customers returning from the tourist destination, thereby making Chichibu tourism more memorable and contributing to the sustainable development of the region. [Solution] We aimed to create a station building that brings together the diverse attractions of Chichibu, such as its rich nature, inherited culture, and vibrant festivals, and is loved by the local people and serves as a "place" that conveys and connects with visitors. Against a backdrop of dignified "ink black," the use of locally produced "Chichibu cedar" and "lanterns," a local industry, expresses the regional culture. The delicate lattice patterns of "Woven Patterns," which weave together landscapes and culture, and the "Chichibu crests," which change with the seasons, add color to the space, creating an environment where you can feel Chichibu at every turn. We planned a "place" where the local area and tourism are connected, and new experiences and communication are born, in a space that emphasizes the climate, history, and culture of Chichibu.

[Project description] A small licensed nursery school in Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom. This is a nursery school attended by the children of employees of AEON MALL, etc. and the children of Kitanakagusuku Village. The theme of the park is Kids Corporation's motto "Kids First", which is "We want you to grow up without forgetting your child's heart". This is the first nursery school with both licensed and unlicensed facilities in Okinawa, where many children are on waiting lists. It was also the first small-scale nursery school in Okinawa for Kids Corporation. [Customer issues and themes] Based on Kids Corporation's motto, "Kids First," which says, "We want you to grow up without forgetting your child's heart," we expressed the world view of the fairy tale Peter Pan and the southern island of Okinawa. We aimed to create a fun space that stimulates the imagination of children with the image of children playing freely. [Solution] This project started with the slogan of wanting to see the smiles of children. The height of the ceiling and windows is 3m80cm. The children's room was laid out with the image of children playing freely in a room with a high ceiling and large windows. We used graphics on the walls and windows to create a fun space that stimulates children's imagination. In addition, we tried to arrange safe and efficient rooms so that the work flow line of the staff can concentrate on childcare.
