This restaurant offers a cuisine that combines dishes from around the world with Japanese identity. Therefore, the spatial design called for an ambiance where the global cuisine and the tradition of Japan could be felt.

As a means of embodying Japanese tradition within the space, the idea emerged to illuminate rattan crafted by artisans from a specialist store in Hiroshima since 1926. This particular rattan is intricately woven using the advanced techniques of these craftsmen.

In Japan, traditional rattan is commonly used as a framework for items like chairs. However, I envisioned creating a unique spatial accent by illuminating the intricacies of the rattan weave, crafted by these skilled artisans. I believe this approach not only highlights the contrast of the rattan within the space but also enhances its overall beauty.

To attach rattan to oak partitions, I secured it with brass frames, enhancing the space's beauty through the reflection of light.

Achieving a fantastical illumination required meticulous adjustments to the distance between the rattan and the light source. Balancing the light was crucial; too much intensity risked creating a dazzling effect, while too little hindered the effective expression of the rattan's beauty.

Through careful adjustments, I successfully adorned the space with a beautiful ambiance. Additionally, finishing the floor and walls with simple plaster allows one to fully appreciate the beauty of both meals and rattan within the space.
