Chiyoda-ku New Government Office (2007)

Entrance on the First Floor, Glass Sealing Processed Washi 25000x1800mm

Address: 1-2-1 Kudan-minami, Chiyodaku, Tokyo
Design: Shimizu Corporation, Axs Satow inc.

Design for the main office of Chiyoda Ward in central of Tokyo. Striped patterns were the essence of stylish of Edo-period culture. This work used stripe masks to overlap two stripe patterns, exploiting the fortuitous nature of handmade washi to generate a color balance that goes beyond the typically Japanese. The modern material glass was combined with the traditional material washi in a work that expresses the classical pattern in a contemporary way. This responds to the guiding principle of the new building, which is to create the future by uniting the past and the present.

Elevator Hall on the First Floor, 8300x2500mm

As one of the art and cultural program, an event called "Artist in Residence" was held at the new City Hall. People of all ages participated in making a giant Washi (traditional Japanese paper). Chiyoda district is known as a birthplace of Edo Culture since the foundation of Edo period more than 300 years ago. Since Edo period until now, the Edo spirit which comes from the appreciation of nature and life and the willingness to help each other has never changed. Through the process of working with the organic materials and sharing one common goal of creating something together, the participants enjoyed the sense of community beyond the social status and the age difference.
