With the theme “A Lumberyard With a View,” this project reconstructs a sawmill in a pleasant location facing the sea of Kodomari Village. Here, the team has created a rest area with benches and tables made of wood. Transparent acrylic material replaced the sawmill walls so you can see through to the horizon when you sit on a bench. Light meals such as rice balls will be for sale here during the festival a perfect place for a leisurely lunch overlooking the sea.

The team was formed as a result of a fascination with a seaside sawmill.
Designers and craftsmen living in Okinawa, Tokyo, and Suzu collaborate to create works for display in a lumber mill.
Attraction to the sawmill brought on knowledge of the sawmill’s history. In the past, trees from local forests were used in the city as building materials, but in recent years the use of local wood has decreased, and its relationship with the city and its people has weakened. If Suzu's trees are not used, forests will be neglected, and consequently, the rivers, seas, and satoyama, will lose their vitality.
As a result, with recycling local wood in mind, the project members make furniture with stored scrap wood to display in the sawmill. The furniture is used as a medium to contemplate the relationship between the mountains and the sea and people and their lives.
