Selva in front of Sendai's municipal subway "Izumi Chuo Station" was reopened in the spring of 2014. In Selva's environmental plan, we participated in the concept design concept of "an atelier to enjoy me more" from the concept design planning stage, and were in charge of the design of the environmental production of the common area, construction, AB construction for tenants, and furniture and fixture manufacturing work.

This is a tourist facility that plays a central role in Tono City's urban vitalization business. It is made up of the "Mukashibanashikura" (Folktale Warehouse), where visitors can have a variety of experiences themed around folk tales, the "Yanagita Kunio displays Hall," which tells of the life and achievements of Yanagita Kunio, the author of "Tono Monogatari," the "Tonoza" (Tono Theatre), where a variety of performances including folk tales and local performing arts are held, and a food and beverage sales facility. The Cultural Environment Research Institute was in charge of planning, design, layout, while Head Office was in charge of production and construction.

This facility opened in 2011 and is currently operated jointly by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. and the Morioka City Tourism and Convention Association as the representative "designated manager." It serves two purposes: as a cultural property exhibition facility housing the precious treasures of the Nanbu family, and as a base for "urban tourism" within Morioka Castle Ruins Park, where a variety of people, including local residents, tourists, and students on school trips, gather to experience the history and traditional culture of the castle town. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. has been involved in the preparations for the facility's opening as the designated manager, and is currently working to provide stable services for local residents and tourists who have been looking forward to its opening, while cherishing its dignity as a facility showcasing Morioka's treasures in the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

This is the third experiential museum in Japan (and the first in Tohoku) to realize children's wishes to "meet Anpanman" and "enter the world of Anpanman."

Moved by the mysterious stories passed down in the Tono region of Iwate's countryside, Kunio Yanagita wrote "The Tales of Tono," which opened the eyes of Japanese folklore studies and continues to inspire people's imaginations to this day. Now, 100 years after its publication, the museum has been re-examined through "The Tales of Tono" and aims to build a new traditional culture. The story of the creation of Tono unravelled through "The Tales of Tono," and the depictions of the people's activities and climate that became the soil for the stories, as captured by contemporary artists fascinated by "The Tales of Tono," project the mysterious power of this land into displays space, creating an opportunity for each visitor to develop a new "Tales of Tono."
