Makoto Furihata

In order to understand Japanese architecture, he often goes to see old wooden buildings in various areas of Japan such as Kyoto and Nara. He thinks that it is an important study to sense new things by returning to the origin of Japanese architecture, and wisdom and thought of the predecessors. Learning from classics is not limited to architecture. He believes that it is common to all fields. Based on that idea, he designs building.
