This restaurant was designed upon a concept of chef’s private residence. Guests are introduced from entrance to a study, a living room, a dining room, and a private room.
Each room, like an apartment in Paris, segmented to make visitors experience each room with different atmosphere. Movable partitions in the dining room dot irregularly, interrupting people’s views, giving them pleasure of discovering something in the rooms.

A Japanese restaurant ONOGI is located in Hiroo, Tokyo. A big crude stub of red pine is hanging from the ceiling of the entrance and the roots of the tree on the ceiling extend to other areas. A lot of wood parts were used in private rooms and are with a big table. Those represent spirit of Japanese cuisine and this restaurant’s motto that everything can be fit together and every cooking ingredient can be used up. The height of the counter and that of chef’s work table is the same to show people cooking vividly. Designer : Takahiro Yamazaki / HOLOGRAM LTD.

Sushi YOSHII
（Page 130）
Located on the second story of a building in Azabu, Tokyo, Sushi YOSHII is like an urban repeat that can accept only three groups of people at night. The interior is very calm and simple upon a concept of a natural environment with mostly natural materials for serving genuine and natural sushi. So, the artless material like concrete, steel plates and footing plates were used impressively exposing natural surfaces and textures.
Also impressive is the decorated art pieces that include work by Yayoi Kusama, Hiroshi Sugimoto and other famous contemporary artists. Customers can enjoy both art-like sushi and literal art pieces, and the environment makes frames for such art, so to say.

ONIHEI EDO DOKORO
（Page 158）
This is a remodeling project of a Hanyu parking area on Tohoku Motorway. This project was executed upon a theme of Edo-era and inspired by novelist Shotarou Ikenami and his work. Heizo Hasegawa, head of the special police of the 18th century, Edo-era is one of a popular hero appeared in Ikenami’s novel. The details of the project are upon images about Heizo Hasegawa. The building is made of steel construction, plaster and mortar and the appearance applies fake-old finish. It cannot be helped, as the traditional Edo-era house is hard to be built today by original way, and the fake old is not just always fake making visitors and users comfortable in such old atmosphere.
