Korogaru Garden for LIL KIDS
Commissioned by Isetan Mitsukoshi Ltd., we developed the “Korogaru Garden” as a new type of learning environment for “cocoiku”, the company’s education project for children.
Based on the idea behind the “Korogaru Koen” series we have been implementing at YCAM since 2012, we arranged the framework to suit even children preschool age and younger, and set up an exhibition space at the Isetan store’s Shinjuku branch.
