Overview | This facility conveys the tradition and culture of Ogatsu Inkstones, a nationally designated traditional craft, and was built as a new relocation of the former Ogatsu Inkstone Traditional Industry Hall, which was devastated in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. It was intended to be a symbol of the reconstruction and a base for attracting visitors to the new Ogatsu area. |

Issues/Themes | To pass on to future generations the traditions and culture of Ogatsu inkstones, which have been preserved in the Ogatsu area since ancient times, and to spread the appeal and new possibilities of Ogatsu stone. |
Space Solution/Realization | The facility, once lost in a disaster, has been revived as a work of beauty that combines the timeless solidity of Ogatsu stone with the lightness of calligraphy culture. The continuity of beauty woven by crafts and culture is expressed through the numerous inkstones displayed in the space and Video circulating around the room and rising to the sky. |
