Kyogen was involved in the spatial designing of “NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO.” Four unique pieces of Kamon were created to express the regional characteristics of Ueno where the Edo culture is still vibrant. Displayed in front of the elevators on the ground level as well as on the wall of the suite room is a piece of artwork, “Mon × Studs” (see left) which represents the above noted four Kamon using Taiko-byo (hemisphere-shaped decorative studs). These Kamon are also placed on room key cards in order to give a relaxing first impression to guests and project the elegant Japanese atmosphere. A variety of MON-MANDALA® artworks including the design-drawing on hair dryer bags and paintings on the wall of the elevator lobbies compliment the elegant space of the hotel. The interior pictograms and design of the emergency evacuation route signs were also produced by Kyogen.
