Cultivating rich sensibilities through co-creation and support of cultural activities
NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group is committed to sharing culture, history, and art with society in an open manner, and creating spaces where diverse sensibilities can meet and resonate with one another. Through various forms of co-creation and support, we aim to realize a society where new insights and values are born.
[CASE 1]
EXPO GALLERY
Nomura Kogeisha, a company specializing in the comprehensive production of spaces, has been involved in numerous expositions from the 1970 Osaka World Expo to the 2025 Osaka-Kansai World Expo, handling the planning and concept design of many pavilions and displays spaces.
In 2022, we opened the "EXPO GALLERY" at our Osaka office as an initiative to connect the legacy to the future by housing and displays approximately 20,000 valuable materials related to international expositions that have been accumulated throughout our history. Covering everything from the 1851 London World's Fair, the world's first international exposition, to the 2021 Dubai Expo, the gallery also allows visitors to experience the spirit and stories of the people involved in the 1970 Osaka Expo project, and to see actual items such as the script for the "Festival Plaza" where events were held and the confetti that fluttered during the opening ceremony.

[CASE 2]
Collaboration with Heralbony: "Towards a society where it's easier to go out"
The reality is that there are many people in society who find it difficult to go out for various reasons, including people with disabilities, pregnant women, parents raising infants, people with sensory sensitivities, and people with dementia. By creating a society where it is easy to go out, we can reach more people who can experience the "Delight and Passion" that is our mission, and this will also increase the profits of our clients, the businesses we serve. We want to make our accessibility-enhancing activities sustainable by pursuing them not only from a CSR perspective but also from an economic cycle perspective. We have been collaborating with Heralbony Co., Ltd. since 2022 and have also sponsored the international award "HERALBONY Art Prize," which began in 2024. As partners aiming for a society where it is easy to go out together, we are promoting numerous projects while leveraging our respective strengths.
At the private event held by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. in conjunction with the HERALBONY Art Prize 2025, attendees were able to experience various initiatives related to accessibility at Nomura.
