[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 have a harsh fate: the higher the quality, the more they are used until they wear out and eventually disappear. To pass on the wonder 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 supervision. [Client Feedback] 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.

Opened in November 2005, this museum brings together invaluable materials on Nagasaki's international exchanges. It attracted attention for being the first prefectural-level museum to adopt a designated manager system that included a curatorial department. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. has been involved in the facility's operation as the designated manager since its opening. While utilizing our comprehensive capabilities to hold exhibitions and events, we also actively engage in activities with the cooperation of citizens, such as having volunteers recreate trials in skits at the restored magistrate's office. Furthermore, it plays a role as a research center for "Nagasaki Studies," and operates with a system that ensures the continuity of cultural administration in cooperation with the facility's owner.
