The Panasonic Group Pavilion "Nomo's Land" is based on the concept of "Unlock your nature," and is a pavilion that draws out the potential of children through technology that analyzes their sensibilities and experiences that stimulate the five senses. Utilizing the latest technology from Panasonic Holdings, the pavilion achieves a spatial design that harmonizes with the world of "Nomo's Land" by using tiles that evoke the tactile concept design of walking on natural ground, finishes made of natural wood with a metallic texture, and concept design methods that integrate 3D printing. In terms of sustainability, the pavilion incorporates advanced design and construction methods, including the reusability of tiles and biodegradable resin printing, and the spatial and experiential concept design approach is centered on what can be done for the future of children.

Founded in Nagano in 1736, Yawataya Isogoro is a long-established company that has created the image that "Shichimi is the best Shinshu souvenir." As part of the commemorative project for the 100th anniversary of the sale of canned shichimi in 2024, the company renovated its confectionery manufacturing workshop and warehouse to open a research and development site for shichimi togarashi. The new facility will function as a business negotiation lounge and test kitchen for B2B collaborative products, a hub for interaction between customers and employees, and a showroom.

Kurate Town, located in the northwestern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, once flourished as part of the Kyushu-Chikuhō coalfield. This facility is a museum where visitors can learn about the history of Kurate Town's coal mines through "experiences." displays is divided into four main zones: an introductory "timeline," a "mine tunnel recreation" using darkness for dramatic effect, a "diorama recreation" of a coal mining site, and "storytellers," which are recordings and edited interviews with workers and record-keepers from that time. While making the most of the limited displays space of 260 square meters, each zone has its own unique characteristics, designed to appeal to visitors in various ways and pique their interest.

Thirty years have passed since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and as the number of people who did not experience the earthquake increases, we have renovated the Kobe Port Earthquake Memorial Park, which was built in 1997 immediately after the earthquake. By contrasting the remains preserved as they were at the time of the earthquake with the rebuilt city of Kobe, displays symbolically conveys the horror of the earthquake and the strength of the people of Kobe who rebuilt the city. In renewing displays, we restructured the content to be easily understood by younger generations who did not experience the earthquake, and also translated displays displays graphics and videos into multiple languages for the increasing number of foreign tourists in recent years. In addition, we created AR content as a new displays element that allows visitors to compare the state of the remains before, during, and after the earthquake. The renovation was carried out with the aim of having many people, regardless of nationality or age, visit this place and continue to be a place that passes on the memories and lessons of the earthquake to future generations.

東日本大震災の被害からの地域医療の復興と、大規模情報化に対応した新たな医療の構築を目指す「東北大学東北メディカル・メガバンク機構（ToMMo）」では、医療情報とゲノム情報を複合させたバイオバンクを構築しています。これまで、同じ病気に対して同じ薬を飲んでも効く人と効かない人がいる違いなどは、詳細が解明できていないために“体質”といった曖昧な言葉で説明されてきました。しかし、ヒトゲノム解読完了以降、ゲノム配列の細かな個人差が“体質”の差を生みだすことがあることが徐々に明らかになってきました。ToMMoは東北で2013年からたくさんの人からさまざまな情報や血液などの生体試料を提供いただくコホート調査を行い、解析をして、日本人ゲノム情報を高精度かつ低コストで解析可能とする「ジャポニカアレイ®」という遺伝子解析ツールも開発してきました。次世代の医療をつくるためには、さらに大規模なデータを、広い世代に協力を募り、集めることが必要です。そのような活動を認知していただくため、ToMMoは仙台市科学館3階の「生活と科学 ～ワンダーサイエンスルーム～」に常設展示を設置しました。当社は展示の企画・デザインなどを担当しています。誰にでもわかりやすく伝えるため、来館者が小さくなって人の体内を旅するというストーリー性のあるグラフィックやタッチパネルゲームで、細胞やゲノムなどについて紹介し、ToMMoの目指す一人ひとりに合わせた次世代型医療についての紹介をしていきます。「世界で一人のあなた、違うことを大切に」という多くの人に向けたメッセージも表現しています。

This facility is a conservation and research facility for the Amami rabbit, a special natural monument. The name of the facility, "Kuruguru," means "dark black" in Shimaguchi (Amami dialect), and represents the Amami rabbit's coat color and the image of life circulating round and round. Here, visitors can take on the rabbit's scale and adventure through the night forest. They will be surprised by cars that suddenly appear and huge predators, and push aside plants and flowers taller than themselves to search for forest creatures that react to the black light. The facility is designed to help visitors understand the rabbit's feelings and fears by seeing them from the rabbit's perspective, and to foster empathy. Furthermore, the treatment room for rescued rabbits is fully open to visitors, showing the reality of injuries caused by traffic accidents and other causes, and the facility is a place where visitors can watch over rescued rabbits until they are released back into the wild, surrounded by the nature of Amami Oshima, and think about the coexistence of humans and rabbits.

We were in charge of design, layout production, and construction of Mazda's manufacturer showroom in the Tokyo metropolitan area, aimed at allowing customers to experience and interact with the brand. The "TRANS" in "MAZDA TRANS AOYAMA" means "to change, to go beyond," and it embodies the meaning of "we want this to be a place that becomes a catalyst for positive change." The first floor is a special space where you can experience the brand, featuring a cafe and goods shop supervised by Itsuki Coffee, which was founded in Miyajima, Hiroshima, while the second floor is a comfortable space where art displays, events, and workshops can be held.

The "Water Supply Zone" at the Miyagase Dam Water and Energy Museum's Water Museum needed renovations after more than 20 years since its opening, and was refurbished to coincide with the museum's 25th anniversary. displays 's concept is to create learning opportunities about the "water supply business" (introducing the role of the water utility) and to change awareness about "tap water" (re-recognizing water resources and learning about the global environment). Through learning about the process, equipment, and related work involved in getting rainwater stored in the dam to tap water in homes—a process rarely seen in everyday life—visitors can learn to appreciate tap water, which is indispensable to daily life, and the importance of social infrastructure. Furthermore, since the Miyagase Dam and the surrounding area are tourist destinations, the main target audience is elementary school field trips from the surrounding area and families visiting on weekends. The exhibition features highly engaging digital content that combines live-action footage and computer graphics, including guidance videos on large screens, virtual content where visitors can operate a drone to inspect water supply facilities, and simulations of water purification processes in rivers. In addition, there are displays that allow visitors to experience firsthand the work of the water supply associations that support the water supply business, making it an enjoyable experience for both those with a specific purpose in mind and those without.

Approximately 400 years ago, the first Osaka Castle, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, fell during the Summer Siege of Osaka and was buried underground by the Tokugawa Shogunate with a massive amount of earth. This project aims to excavate and restore the Toyotomi-era stone walls from underground after 400 years and open them to the public. In this unique facility, which allows visitors to descend into an underground space to view the ruins, we have strived to create displays that convey the unique value of the Toyotomi-era stone walls, which differ from the stone walls rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate. We have constructed displays story and presentation that allows visitors to relive the process of identifying the Toyotomi-era stone walls, their characteristics, and the turbulent history they have experienced. Furthermore, by overlapping this with the process of visiting the ruins, which involves going up and down from above ground to underground and back to above ground, we have created an even more special displays space. In addition, while valuing the presentation of the stone walls themselves, we have conveyed the inherent charm of the ruins through an integrated presentation that links video, lighting, and sound.

Air Water Hokkaido's new facility, "Air Water Forest," is an open innovation facility that addresses social issues in order to realize a sustainable society and a safe, secure, and prosperous life. Within this facility, the restaurant and cafe "Eureka" was created as a place to disseminate and share "agriculture and food," one of the Air Water Group's initiatives. The space was designed in conjunction with the architectural concept design so that the facility's concept of "sustainable and prosperous living" can be felt even in the restaurant. Just like the name "Eureka" (meaning "I found it! I understand!" in ancient Greek), concept design allows customers to discover the rich land of Hokkaido and the true deliciousness of the ingredients nurtured by that land.

Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum, opened in 1970 to honor and preserve materials of Takuboku Ishikawa, one of the most famous poets in modern Japan, will be reopened in 2025 with the addition of Tamayama History and Folklore Museum. The Takuboku Memorial Museum is designed to connect the two museums based on the concept of "hometown" left by Takuboku. The Takuboku Memorial Museum focuses on the Meiji period when Takuboku lived, while the History and Folklore Museum focuses on the 30's of the Showa period, allowing visitors to see the present-day Yushan as well. The Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum uses the entire space to present a huge timeline of Takuboku's 26 years of life and the people's activities to honor him from the time of his death to the present day. Below the timeline, you can see the collection of Takuboku's works and his words at that time. displays The symbol displays in the center shows the organ that Takuboku actually played, and on the big screen in the background, you can choose to watch two original animations, "Takuboku's Life" and "Takuboku and His Hometown". There is also a planning displays room and a library reading corner. In the Tamayama History and Folklore Museum, folk materials displays donated by local residents, as well as folk performing arts and natural features are preserved and can be viewed using video and information retrieval systems. displays "Connecting Tamayama", a multi-purpose hall where lectures and workshops can be held in the hallway connecting the two museums, and shelves displays for mini-projects and other activities, The "Show Storage" is a part of the storage room with a glass wall. From the windows, you can see the Saito family residence where Takuboku once lived and Shibumin Elementary School.

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.

This project was undertaken by Takekoma Shrine, one of Japan's three major Inari shrines, to create a vibrant community. Our company played a central role, forming a tripartite team involving the shrine, the local community, and our company. The team's work was broadly divided into five areas: "maintenance of the shrine's sacred grove," "establishment of a café," "revitalization of the local community," "promotion," and "creation of a new festival." Our company provided comprehensive production services, including planning, logo concept design, design administration, landscape concept design, construction, exterior work, café opening support, café menu development, product development, video production, and public relations. Our goal was to ensure that Takekoma Shrine continues to exist as an indispensable part of the lives of the citizens, in a sustainable way, for the future. 〇Comprehensive Production Details ① Identifying customer challenges ② Developing solutions ③ Considering implementation (operation) structure ④ Establishing implementation (operation) structure (leasing) ⑤ concept design based on the opinions of the shrine and operators ⑥ Product development (food and beverage menu, selection of products for sale) ⑦ Considering revitalizing the entire shrine ⑧ Creating a promotional video for the entire shrine ⑨ Considering CAFÉ promotion ⑩ Planning the opening ceremony ⑪ Attracting various media outlets ⑫ Implementing PDCA after opening ⑬ Creating a new festival ⑭ Creating a global promotional video for overseas markets.

Kurukuru is a public mobility service run by local residents that has been operating provisionally as a means of transportation in Nitto-cho and Daishi-cho, Kawachinagano City, where population decline and an aging population are accelerating after 50 years since the development of residential land. In order to operate the transportation service that supports local mobility with the initiative of local residents, we held a participatory art workshop. Together with members of the art club of a local junior high school and local residents, we held a total of 10 art workshops, "See, Learn, Create," with the aim of reaffirming social issues through art, rediscovering the charm of the town, and fostering a sense of participation in town development among local residents through co-creation.
