This project involved renovating a 20-year-old restaurant and changing its use to a mixed-use facility. Taking advantage of its location, which is a 5-minute walk from Kumagaya Station, we aimed to create a facility that would become a hub for cultural dissemination. The banquet room, which is 9m wide and decorated with Kumagaya dyed art, hosts a variety of painting exhibitions and grand piano concerts, raising expectations for the cultivation and dissemination of artistic culture in Kumagaya.
