Developing “Visual Tiles”
We develop and commercialize our own digital signage system for our projects. “VisualTiles” is a set of databases and applications co-developed by our CMI Headquarters and Nsystem Co., Ltd., that supports information browsing and presentations, making it ideal for various communication spaces. We officially trademarked this touch panel type authoring browser in 2019. It has been adopted as a touch panel information terminal and communications tool in a wide variety of spaces such as corporate showrooms, museums, and co-working spaces.
Used as an information sharing device for particpating corporations at “piont 0 marunouchi”.
Planning and development of “MYCLO” the digital mirror
Tanseisha has developed a new digital mirror called “MYCLO” that allows shoppers to take photos of themselves trying out clothes, compare them, and save the photos to their smartphones for later viewing. We developed the mirror in order to solve the problems of users (shoppers), stores and manufacturers, by incorporating digital content technology into our unique approach and experience in the creation of many commercial facilities including apparel, retail stores, and specialty stores.

New Business Development and Promotion
Providing “B-OWND” – A new platform for artwork utilizing blockchain technology.
Using blockchain technology, we provide the services of B-OWND, a platform that enables the sale and distribution of traditional Japanese art and craftwork to the world. With the introduction of digital registration forms authenticating artwork via blockchain, we have made it possible to create value through the mutual influence of first and secondary distribution, buying and selling works on an E-commerce platform while guaranteeing both their authenticity and added-value in an art market where ownership history is crucial. By forming a new distribution network for collectors in Japan and overseas, we will increase both the awareness and distribution of art works created by traditional Japanese techniques, expand the market, and at the same time contribute to the succession of technology, the development of cultural leaders, the promotion of Japanese culture and art, and last but not least, the revitalizing of local regions.

Creating lively atmospheres by revitalizing old real estate – The R2 Project
Through the R2 (Real Estate Revitalization) project, we revitalize old small and medium-sized buildings in central Tokyo. Utilizing the know-how and network that Tanseisha has cultivated so far, we give new life to these buildings, turning them into small offices that provide a more comfortable working environment for their users.
By increasing the value of old real estate, we contribute to the realization of a circular economy. At the same time, we contribute to the creation of new liveliness by allowing small businesses and start-ups to join the community, and add to residents’ livelihood.

Industry-Academia Collaboration Project
“Mobile Museum”, spreading information on academia and culture through “museums that can be brought out anywhere.”
We have established the Mobile Museum, an industry-academia collaboration project with The University Museum, The University of Tokyo, in the reception area of our head office. This exhibition was unitized in a completely new way, connecting the university’s academic resources with our corporate office. Through practical research of compactly displaying specimens from the University of Tokyo, we provide visitors with the chance to take in the academic and cultural samples at our office. The exhibition content is selected and updated regularly regardless of the field, be it natural or cultural history.
What is the “Mobile Museum”
It is an experimental project on next-generation museums. The name was coined by its purpose: “a museum that can be brought out anywhere.” By compactly displaying the contents of the exhibition at schools, houses, businesses, and public facilities, the surrounding space is transformed into a temporary museum space. The Mobile Museum is a tool that provides cultural assets to a wide range of social audiences by mobilizing existing museum collections.
