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.
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.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 in Osaka city and finished in May 2020 in Osaka city.
