Shinsaibashi Project
Restaurant and Wine Bar for Takako Yoshikawa, Kasetu Souzou Inc.
The historic old house in Shinsaibashi, Osaka has been renovated as a restaurant and a wine bar. Built over 60 years ago in a prime location in Shinsaibashi, this old house was the home of the 8th generation Kabuki actor, Raizo Ichikawa, who was a superstar at the time. While valuing traditional Japanese architectural design, we have created a modern, beautiful, and new space. The door from the end of the Edo period, and the wall is the mosaic tiles of Ito Jakuchu's paintings, the materials such as lattice, plaster that symbolize the beauty of Japan are combined.

The materials such as "lattice", "plaster" and "eave tile" that symbolize the beauty of Japan are combined with "red carpet", "brass" and "terracotta tile" reminiscent of Western-style buildings in the Taisho era.
Design Challenge
The task was to turn the historic old folk house where Kabuki actors once lived into a space like contemporary art where you can enjoy Japanese beef and wine. I designed a unique and contemporary space by combining several traditional Japanese styles.
Project Duration
This project began on march 2020, the German Design Award (Winner) was awarded and an award ceremony In February 2022 and work exhibition was held at Frankfurt Messe Ambiante.
Operation Flow
I tried to design a space that makes the time here feel like beautiful art. I was conscious of the design whose value increases with the passage of time.
Research
The completion of a unique and topical old folk house has changed the atmosphere of the street and increased the value of the area.
