Thank you for viewing. There is some age-related soiling. This issue explores the theme of seashores (coasts), particularly what the coast once meant to Japan, its significance today, and its future. With the 400th anniversary of Osaka Castle's construction approaching next year, various plans for the future are being proposed in Osaka, a city that has historically pursued expansion and development towards the sea. In this issue of OBAYASHI IDEA, we challenge the "Osaka Bay Area Concept," envisioning Osaka in the 21st century with a giant green artificial island and a future marine city on the bay, away from the old coastline.
