In May, when the zelkova trees lining the streets are covered in fresh green leaves and Sendai becomes its most beautiful "City of Trees," the "Sendai Aoba Festival," a historical festival showcasing the refined elegance of the Date clan, is held. This festival began in 1985, the 350th anniversary of the death of Date Masamune, as a revival of a festival from the Edo period Sendai domain. For the fourth festival in 1988, five Sendai Yamaboko floats were created to recreate the procession of floats from that time, and the procession was revived. The following year, five more floats were added, and in 1995, one more was created, bringing the total to eleven. Our Tohoku branch has been involved in the creation of the floats from the early stages, and because of that connection, our branch staff still work together every year to support the procession. And in 2025, for the first time in 30 years, a 12th float, the "Gokoku Hojo Yamaboko," will be added to the festival. Creating a new float requires considerable expense. Furthermore, with the participation of over 100 people, including those pulling the float and dancing, sponsorship requires a fairly large local organization or group. In this context, the cooperation of Iris Ohyama, a company based in Sendai, Miyagi, made the creation of a new float a reality. Due to our long-standing relationship with the "Sendai Aoba Festival," our company was in charge of the concept design and production of the float. *Event period: Every year on the third Sunday of May and the day before.

This project involves the complete renovation of the retail and environmental areas from the building's entrance to the lobby (grand hall) of the Takarazuka Grand Theater, which is celebrating its 111th anniversary. Based on the concept of "Dreams begin here," the aim was to create a space that would continue to deliver dreams to many customers and be loved by them, while carefully inheriting the charm of the Takarazuka Grand Theater that has been nurtured over the years. From the moment you step inside the building, you will be enveloped in the glamorous world of Takarazuka Revue, and the space will be an extraordinary and exhilarating experience that leads you to dreams and emotions. By unifying concept design of interiors environment and creating the world of Takarazuka Revue throughout the entire building, we planned a space that would make the time before and after the performance more comfortable, and that could be enjoyed by customers who are not attending a performance. By extracting motifs that represent "Takarazuka-ness" from elements of Takarazuka Revue's stages and shows, as well as the building of the Grand Theater, and reconstructing them as a modern concept design, we have created a space that will be loved even more by existing fans, and will also attract new fans, leading to an enhancement of the brand value that looks ahead to the future of Takarazuka Revue.
