I produce an installation work in the building which the late Mr. Togo Murano of the architect designed. The motif of the work is "Cherry Blossom".

Togo Murano (1891-1984) is one of the most significant Japanese architects of the modern period, known for his design achievements based on a humanist perspective. He took on various styles, from avant-garde modernist design in the prewar era to dynamic yet delicately expressed design in the postwar era, in order to create architecture that would represent each city he worked in.
