About the Project

Overview The Nagasaki Prefectural Buried Cultural Properties Center and Iki City Ikikoku Museum is a complex consisting of a museum and a research center built on a hill overlooking the Harunotsuji Ruins (a national special historic site), which was identified as the royal capital of Ikikoku, a kingdom mentioned in the Gishiwajinden.

The exhibition and space were designed to allow visitors to experience Ikikoku through a diorama model that Spatial Production dolls with the faces of modern Iki residents as a motif, and a reproduction of an ancient ship that traveled between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. The facility's concept also emphasizes the use of the island's history as a hub for exchange with East Asia in modern island development.
