This project involved relocating the study of novelist Yoshimura Akira and turning it into a memorial museum.

The site is located in a quiet residential area, about a five-minute walk from Inokashira Park Station.

Yoshimura uses a study he built on the grounds of his house as his workspace, and he comes to his study at a set time every morning to get to work, and has written many of his manuscripts in this place.

In order to open this study to the public, it was relocated and a new exhibition building was built next to it, with the walls filled with all of his writings. A courtyard was placed to connect the two buildings.

Since a courtyard could be seen from the window of Yoshimura's former study, it was decided to create this garden as part of the exhibition.

We recorded the plants that were lovingly cultivated in the existing garden, and also collected descriptions of the couple's gardens from the writings of Tsumura, who was also a writer alongside Yoshimura's life. We then considered the composition of the courtyard, focusing on the plants that remained between the couple, even though they were not in the existing garden.
