I wanted to make a design shop at Takikawa.
I thought a small space, like 10 or 20 square feet, would be enough for this shop.
But its interior design should be simple and beautiful, like that of a museum,
where a sophisticated collection of design objects could be shown.
I have dreamed to create a small but remarkable shop,
with a variety of excellent small and light goods which everyone can take home easily.
I do hope that shopping in this design store will be something very special for the visitors.
