Overview of Nagasaki Kaido Kamome Market

Applicant company:

Kyushu Railway Company, JR Nagasaki City Co., Ltd., NOMURA Co., Ltd.

Concept:

Nagasaki, the city of sea and light
On the façade of a newly constructed commercial facility in front of the ticket gates of Nagasaki Station, which is the land entrance facing the harbor, we used custom-made blue and white tiles with the motif of Seigaiha Waves to express the waterside of Nagasaki Port and the glittering light between the waves. Did. By mixing the raw material (glass) of Nagasaki's souvenir "Vidro" into the glaze, we create a sparkle that is unique to the region. Did.

Judge's comment:

This is the facade of a commercial facility lined with Nagasaki food and souvenirs. In such facilities, there are many cases where flat concept design are used using flat graphics, but at this "Nagasaki Kamome Market", custom-made tiles are boldly installed on the upper part of the façade, and there are variations in color and method of tiling. Complicating the pattern creates a three-dimensional and rich expression. In addition, since the design of this tile is not too specific, it has a multifaceted concept design that gives a different impression depending on who sees it. (Mr. Kenichi Shiota)
