About Kissyan Eirakucho Matsu Japanese Grilled Meat Restaurant
Kissyan Eirakucho Matsu is a Japanese grilled meat restaurant located in Osaka, Japan. The interior covers an area of 83 square meters. The existing facade is repainted with graded colors, recalling the dyeing of Washi paper, and is joined by a moss garden. At the counter seats, guests watch the open kitchen as an audience watches a Noh stage, in front of a pine tree relief made of tin. The corridor is lined with silver wallpaper and frames of Japanese cypress. Each private room represents one season: spring, summer, autumn or winter.

- Design Challenge
- A pine tree, symbol of Noh stage, is originally illustrated by painting. To express a contemporary value, a pine tree tin relief is made which adopted three-dimensional expression. It was challenging to make the big relief with dimensions of 1300mm x 650mm x 40mm by hand one by one, from a leaf, a stem to a branch.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2020 in Osaka city and finished in May 2020 in Osaka city.
- Inspiration
- Existing building was completed in 1998, it was designed a cityscape of middle of Edo period of Kitashinchi in a modern way, feature eaves came from a comb of traditional Japanese Coiffure. I set a goal to remain this existing facade and develop it by fusion between Japanese tradition and contemporary value. Dramatic space makes harmony with the existing building and historical surroundings, to be a new landmark of the area.
