“EASTERN” has the meaning of “beginning” attached to it. The east is the direction where the sun rises and begins a new day. The east is the beginning of the sun, the beginning of light. The dawn of night, that also comes from the east. It is hope. Again, “EASTERN” also has the meaning of architects from East Asia. As an architect from the East, I want to spread the quality of eastern architecture beyond Japan and to the world.
