The main building has a kitchen, and services such as dinner by a visiting chef and the provision of alcohol from a movable bar are provided. For interiors, we used local materials, and tried to create a space using local materials, just like in the Edo period, such as a wall made of local soil and a dining table made of local cherry trees.

~ Conveying the thoughts and history of the people who have repaired it after each disaster as a "symbol of reconstruction" ~ The Kumamoto earthquake in April 2016 also caused damage to the Kumamoto Castle tower. In response to the voices of the people who longed for the symbolic castle tower to return to its original form, Kumamoto City adopted a policy of early restoration of the castle tower, and the building was completed in March 2021, incorporating the latest earthquake-resistant technology. Here, the thoughts of the people who have repaired the castle after repeated disasters over the 400 years since its construction have been inherited, and a message from the people of Kumamoto who live "now" for the next 100 or 400 years into the future. It is The exhibits are arranged in chronological themes from the basement to the top floor, and the spatial design has been designed to correspond to these themes. Focusing on the castle tower rather than the castle as a whole, it conveys the history of its construction, architectural design, defensive function, castle and town development, and the thoughts and history of the people who have restored it after each disaster. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ・Communicate the historical, architectural, and spiritual significance of the castle tower, which is a symbol of recovery from the Kumamoto earthquake disaster. In addition, it should be communicated that Kumamoto Castle, which has historically been hit by numerous natural disasters, has been revived even in the recent earthquake.・Focusing on the “Kumamoto Castle Tower” instead of the entire Kumamoto Castle, and working to coordinate and complement the exhibition content and role sharing of the surrounding facilities.・Since there are many restrictions on the preservation environment inside the castle tower, basically no actual materials will be exhibited, and an exhibition of the history of the Kumamoto Castle tower after the Satsuma Rebellion, which has not existed before, will be added.・From the perspective of universal design, introduce tactile exhibits and multilingual audio guides so that a wide range of people can enjoy the exhibits. We have received your request above. [Solution] With the castle tower as the main character, we arranged the stories from the construction of the castle to the present along the time axis, and set a theme for each era on each floor. The first floor is the era of Kiyomasa Kato, who built the castle, the era of Hosokawa, who later became the feudal lord, the modern era, which experienced burning down and rebuilding, and the modern era, which is devoted to the Kumamoto earthquake and restoration, from the lower floors to the upper floors. I organized the story so that I could follow it. In addition to the structure of the castle tower, the people who have repaired Kumamoto Castle every time since the Edo period, even after repeated disasters. And so on, I focused on that. Furthermore, in order to meet the needs of a wide range of visitors, we planned and realized a multilingual audio guide and a tactile model of the castle tower that can be touched and understood. [Customer's voice] The exhibition is organized in a way that is easy for anyone to understand and attracts interest, such as explanations using models and projection mapping, title signs, multilingual audio guides using apps, etc., and has been well received by visitors.

Kasai City regional revitalization base facility “sora Kasai” Uzurano Museum

Kasai City regional revitalization base facility “sora Kasai” Uzurano Museum

The approximately 1.2km runway remains in Uzurano-cho, Kasai City, belonged to an airfield that was built during the war. Kasai City's regional revitalization base facility "sora kasai" plays a role as an exchange base for tours of these ruins, and the "quail museum" is the center of the field museum that conveys the historical facts of the war. was given. The basic plan for the facility was made by a joint venture of three companies, with displays Co., Ltd. and Iruka Sekkei Group Co., Ltd. being involved in the design. After that, I received an order for displays production independently, and the period from planning to completion was about 6 years. Towards the completion, after going through a review committee, Kasai City, local war historians who have been researching for many years, the preservation society, supervising teachers, a full-scale airplane model production company, and many other people. I made it. This museum, which is built on the runway, introduces the short but rich history of Uzurano Airfield, centering on displays of two full-scale airplane models that are deeply related to this area. We aimed to create a museum that is unique to Uzurano, making the most of the story and location of this area. It is the mission of this museum to weave together the memories of this land, leave them in a form, and pass them on to future generations. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The challenge was to create an attractive facility that would serve as a hub for field exchanges suitable for the Kasai City Regional Revitalization Facility. In particular, the role of the museum, which has displays function, was to make it a place to think about peace by mainly displays two full-scale airplane models, as well as historical displays related to Uzurano Airfield and Kasai City. As for displays method, the emphasis was placed on the content, and the request was to mainly use video technology, but on the other hand, it was also desired displays actual materials. [Solution] The greatest attraction of this museum is that displays space is set up on the runway itself, which is a living witness of history, and the two full-scale airplane models that are the main displays are placed above it. The ``Shiden Kai'', which was assembled and tested, was placed on the runway, and the ``Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft'', which flew off to the special attack, was arranged to fly from the runway to the sky, and the runway, sky, architecture, In a powerful space where displays is integrated, it is displays unique to Uzurano that makes use of the story of this place and itself. displays consists of two zones, "Technology" and "History", and the spaces are inextricably linked through lattice walls. By approaching the historical fact of war from two perspectives, the aim is to provide an opportunity to think from multiple perspectives. For the video displays, we planned to create a synergistic effect for understanding by combining it with the material displays. In particular, the "Story Wall" consists of four stories about the history of Uzurano Airfield, and is developed as a series of four images that make use of the oblong space. In addition, four materials linked to those stories displays, and each of them complemented each other. By learning the background of the materials through the images and adding reality to the images through the materials, we aim to create displays that are more deeply conveyed. In addition, by directly incorporating the words of the people who lived here in the content, we made the war not only a past event, but also an expression that you can feel. <Our project members> [Development] Koichi Morimoto [Sales and project management] Koichi Morimoto [Planning] Settsuko Nishimura [design, layout] Tomoyo Tsukiyama [Production and construction] Takeshi Suesaki / CIC: Yu Oishi, Satoko Hasegawa
