Kurate Town, located in the northwest of Fukuoka Prefecture, once developed as a part of the Kyushu Chikuho coalfield. This facility is a museum where you can learn about the history of coal mining in Kurate Town through "experiences." displays are divided into four main zones: an introductory "chronology," a "reproduced mine tunnel" using darkness, a "reproduced diorama" of the coal mining site, and a "storyteller" section where interviews by workers and recorders from that time are filmed and edited. By making the most of the limited displays space of 260 square meters and giving each zone its own unique characteristics, the museum is designed to appeal to visitors in a variety of ways and to interest them.

Thirty years have passed since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and as the number of generations who have not experienced the disaster increases, we have renovated the Kobe Port Earthquake Memorial Park, which was built in 1997 immediately after the disaster. By displays the remains preserved as they were at the time of the earthquake in contrast to the reconstructed city of Kobe, we symbolically convey the horror of the earthquake and the strength of the people of Kobe who reconstructed the city. In renovating displays displays, we reconstructed the content so that it is easy to understand for the younger generation who did not experience the earthquake, and we also translated displays graphics and videos into multiple languages for the increasing number of foreign tourists in recent years. As a new displays element, we also created AR content that allows you to compare the state of the remains before, during, and after the earthquake. We renovated the park with the aim of attracting many people from Japan and abroad, regardless of age, and continuing to be a place that passes on the memories and lessons of the earthquake to the future.

The Tohoku University Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo), which aims to restore regional medical care from the damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and to build new medical care that can respond to large-scale information technology, is building a biobank that combines medical information and genome information. Until now, the differences between people who take the same medicine for the same disease and those who do not have been explained by vague words such as "constitution" because the details have not been clarified. However, since the completion of the human genome decoding, it has gradually become clear that small individual differences in genome sequence can create differences in "constitution". ToMMo has been conducting cohort surveys in Tohoku since 2013, in which many people provide various information and biological samples such as blood, and has also developed a genetic analysis tool called "Japonica Array®" that can analyze Japanese genome information with high accuracy and low cost. In order to create the next generation of medical care, it is necessary to collect even larger amounts of data with the cooperation of a wide range of generations. To raise awareness of such activities, ToMMo has set up a permanent displays in the "Life and Science - Wonder Science Room" on the third floor of the Sendai City Science Museum. Our company is in charge of planning and concept design displays. To make it easy for everyone to understand, we will introduce cells and genomes through story-based graphics and touch panel games in which visitors shrink and travel inside the human body, and introduce the next-generation medical care that ToMMo aims to provide, tailored to each individual. It also expresses a message to many people: "You are one of a kind in the world, so cherish your differences."

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.

GRAND GREEN OSAKA South Building is a complex with a variety of functions, including 55 shops and restaurants, two hotels and offices, wellness facilities, and MICE facilities. As a pioneer of cutting-edge urban lifestyles, it is home to a wide variety of international restaurants and shops. The largest urban spa in the Kansai region features natural hot springs and an infinity pool overlooking Umekita Park, and as a wellness hub, it offers high-value experiences such as health, beauty, exercise, and relaxation. In addition, a large-scale food market called "Time Out Market Osaka" overseen by the global media "Time Out" has opened on the first basement floor.

We were in charge of design, layout and construction of Mazda's manufacturer showroom in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which aims to provide a place for people to experience and interact with the brand. The "TRANS" in "MAZDA TRANS AOYAMA" means "to change, to overcome," and the meaning behind the name is "We want to be a place that will be a catalyst for positive change." The first floor is a special space where you can experience the brand, with a cafe and goods shop supervised by Itsuki Coffee, which was founded in Miyajima, Hiroshima, and the second floor is a comfortable space where art displays and events and workshops can be held.

The Miyagase Dam Water and Energy Pavilion Water Museum "Waterworks Zone" needed to be renovated after more than 20 years since its opening, and was renewed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the museum's opening. The concept of displays is to create learning opportunities for the "tap water supply business" (introducing the role of the Waterworks Corporation) and to change people's awareness of "tap water" (re-examining water resources and learning about the global environment). By learning about the process, facilities, and work involved in how rainwater stored in the dam reaches our household faucets as tap water, which we don't usually have the opportunity to learn about, visitors can learn about the importance of tap water, which is essential to our lives, and the importance of social infrastructure. In addition, since the surrounding area, including Miyagase Dam, is a tourist destination, the main target audience is social studies field trips from nearby elementary schools and families visiting on weekends. The exhibition features a wide range of digital content, including guidance videos on a large screen, virtual content in which a drone is operated to investigate water facilities, and a simulation of the process of purifying river water. The exhibition also features highly game-like digital content that combines real-life action and computer graphics, as well as displays that allows visitors to virtually experience the work of the corporations that support the water supply business. The exhibition offers a variety of content that can be enjoyed in a short amount of time by visitors with or without a specific purpose.

About 400 years ago, the first Osaka Castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell in the Summer Siege of Osaka and was buried underground by the Tokugawa Shogunate with a large amount of earth. This project aims to excavate the Toyotomi-era stone walls from the ground after 400 years, renovate them, and open them to the public. In a facility unlike any other in the country that allows visitors to go underground to view the remains, we worked on creating displays that conveys the unique value of Toyotomi-era stone walls, which are different from the stone walls rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate. We created displays story and production that allows visitors to relive the process of identifying the Toyotomi-era stone walls, their characteristics, and the turbulent history that the stone walls have gone through. We also created displays space that feels even more special by overlapping it with the process of visiting the ruins, going from above ground to underground and back again. In addition, we valued the way the stone walls themselves were presented, and conveyed the original appeal of the remains through an integrated production that linked video, lighting, and sound.

Air Water Hokkaido's new facility, "Air Water Forest," is an open innovation facility that tackles social issues to "achieve a sustainable society" and "achieve a safe, secure, and prosperous lifestyle." Restaurant and cafe "Eureka" was created within this facility as a place to disseminate and share "agriculture and food," one of the Air Water Group's initiatives. The space was developed in collaboration with the architectural concept design so that the concept of the facility, "sustainable and prosperous lifestyle," could be felt in the restaurant. Like the restaurant's name "Eureka" (which means "I found it! I understand it!" in ancient Greek), concept design allows customers to discover the rich land of Hokkaido and the natural deliciousness of the ingredients that grow there.

The Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum, which opened in 1970 with the aim of honoring and preserving the records of Ishikawa Takuboku, one of the most representative poets of modern Japan, will reopen in 2025 with the addition of the Tamayama History and Folklore Museum. The two museums are connected by the concept of the word "hometown" left by Takuboku, and the Takuboku Memorial Museum focuses on the Meiji period when Takuboku lived, while the History and Folklore Museum focuses on the 1950s and 1960s, allowing visitors to see the current Tamayama. The entire space of the Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum is used to depict the 26 years of Takuboku's life and the people's activities to honor him from his death to the present day as a huge timeline. Below the timeline, you can see the collections for each era and Takuboku's words from that time. The central symbolic displays displays the organ that Takuboku actually played, and on the large screen in the background, you can choose to watch two original animations, "Takuboku's Life" and "Takuboku and Hometown." There is also a special displays room and a book browsing corner. Tamayama History and Folklore Museum displays folklore materials donated by local residents, as well as folk performing arts and natural scenes, which are preserved and can be viewed using video and information search systems. In the corridor connecting the two buildings, there is a multipurpose hall where lectures and workshops can be held, a shelf displays called "Tamayama Connecting" where mini special displays can be held, and a "visible storage room" where part of the storage room is made of glass. From the windows, you can see the Saito Family Residence where Takuboku once lived, and Shibutani Elementary School.

This is a renewal of the entire store and environment area from the building entrance to the lobby (large hall) of the Takarazuka Grand Theater, which is celebrating its 111th anniversary. Based on the concept of "Dreams start here," we aimed to carefully inherit the charm of the Takarazuka Grand Theater that has been cultivated so far, and to create a space that will continue to deliver dreams to many customers and be loved in the future. From the moment you step inside the building, you will be enveloped in the glamorous world of Takarazuka Revue, and it is a space where you can experience the "extraordinary feeling" and "exhilaration" that leads to dreams and excitement. By unifying concept design of interiors environment and creating the world of Takarazuka Revue throughout the building, we planned a space that will make the time before and after the show more comfortable, and that customers who are not going to the show can also enjoy. By extracting motifs that represent "Takarazuka-ness" from the elements of Takarazuka Revue's stages and shows and the building of the Grand Theater and reconstructing them as modern concept design, we have created a space that will be loved even more by existing fans and will attract new fans, leading to an increase in brand value with an eye on the future of Takarazuka Revue.

This project was undertaken by Takekoma Shrine, one of Japan's three major Inari shrines, to create a lively atmosphere in the local community. Our company acted as the hub, forming a team that united the shrine, the local community, and the company. The team worked on five main areas: "development of the shrine forest," "installation of a cafe," "vitalization of the local community," "promotion," and "creating a new festival." Our company was responsible for the overall production of the project, including planning, logo concept design, design administration, landscaping concept design, construction, exterior construction, cafe opening support, cafe menu development, product development, video production, and PR. Our goal was to ensure that Takekoma Shrine would continue to be an indispensable part of the lives of the local residents and be passed on to the future in a sustainable way. ○ Contents of comprehensive production ① Extraction of customer issues ② Proposal of solutions to those issues ③ Consideration of implementation (operation) system ④ Creation of implementation (operation) system (leasing) ⑤ concept design based on opinions of the shrine and operators ⑥ Product development (food and drink menu, selection of products for sale) ⑦ Consideration of revitalization of the shrine as a whole ⑧ Creation of a promotional video for the entire shrine ⑨ Consideration of CAFÉ promotion ⑩ Opening ceremony planning ⑪ Attracting various media ⑫ Implementing PDCA after opening ⑬ Create a new festival ⑭ Global promotional video for overseas By seeking supporters from our network (mainly local companies), we were able to create a system that can operate independently.

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.
