The relocation of Moritomi, a restaurant offering Japanese cuisine, next to the world heritage Himeji Castle explores the relationships between materiality, shape and traditional architectonics interpretation. The new space tries to reproduce the castle stone fortifications pattern in various materials including rough and polished stones, black oxide coated steel, and tatami mats. A floor made in small resin coated gravels represents the castle moat. Two colors, white and black, flows like water from outside, and crossing the wooden lattice decorated entrance door, to the reception hall.

Offering Japanese cuisine Since 1945, Moritomi is a local restaurant in Himeji city, Japan. It is specialized in classic Japanese food with a focus on local specialty. This restaurant can host individuals but also offer spaces for larger groups to celebrate any kind of events or business meetings.
