Renovation and new construction project of an old ryokan in the
center of Maebashi city, Gunma prefecture. A building with a fourstoried-
height void was turned into an urban public space as “living
room for the city”. A new construction designed upon Maebashi
city’s vision “mebuku (blooming)”, used the same scale and height
as the old building represents a green hill. The hill connects the
main street and a road, letting anyone to drop in or go through the
ryokan. This project took six years, joined by world famous artists
and designers, and local people.

come from personality of the restaurant owner. The interior
represents the depth of the character of the restaurant and it can
be traced on sense of layered materials and hand-made touch of
the surfaces of high-grade components. An approach displays art
pieces to improve the expectation of customers. This restaurant

THE ME
（Page 103）
This clothes store is based upon a concept of “where I come to
clear the FOG”, according to the interior designer, which means
that in this store you can easily find what you want when you
waver in your choice. To light up the interior, they chose silver as
the key color and sharp lines were emphasized. A lot of curved
lines gently remind us of body lines. Displaying fixtures are made
of wood and in warm colors. Shoppers feel comfortable to be here
in gender-free environment.

Rust Harvest
（Page 142)
Rustic surficial artwork by Yuma Kano. As the rust causes trouble
such as disorder of steel machinery, it is often regarded as
negative and impaired state, but we know, when we look it
closely, it has beautiful patterns mixed with various colors. This
project shows a smart use of the rust as the texture of products.
The patterns, formed by sunshine, seawater, earth, etc., were
transcribed on acrylic surfaces to be used for making furniture.
We see here new potentiality of the material.
