various awards ceremony recognizing excellence. Brand "Nabeshima" in 2011 is the fact that won the
world's highest award of the world in the IWC International Wine Challenge sake department, was
collected at once many people's attention. The Japanese wine cellar, tourists began to visit many from
Japan across the country. Then, with a focus on the opening of a storehouse for the first time in the year
and "Kashima brewery tourism" began. In 2015 it seems to give the attract of 70,000 people in two days.

In the wake of the award I have been involved in continuing to renovation plans, such as showrooms,
o ice, lounge, rice warehouse, exterior design. This is the renovation project the old rice mills of
registration tangible cultural property (the 1921 completion) to the gallery that can tasting and brewing
exhibition for visitors. Because it is a registered tangible cultural property, it can not be basically the
appearance and shape change, are landscaping the outer wall by burned cedar. The building of the old
rice mill has long become a warehouse, it was a state that is tilted by leaning against the structural next
to the equipment building. The plan, by the revitalization dragged along with the weight of the roof to
correct the slope, we have structural reinforcement by newly inserting an iron plate below the beam. Wall
of black leather iron plate of 12mm thickness, and at the same time increase the strength by installing a
rib frame member of 4.5mm thickness around the square hole, has become a fixture to exhibit 1.8 litres
bottle and 720 milliliters bottle. Iron plate wall structural member is directly finish, it is possible to
respond to future flexible exhibition plans by using a fixture that uses a magnet.

As we consider plan, rather than a typical old house renovation column method of reinforcing the joints
as seen in, it was decided to insert by o setting the iron plates of the structural reinforcement inside. In
doing so, the "soil walls 94 years ago of the inner wall," as much as possible was considered leave as it is.
It is for the "massive material that earthen walls" that the deposition of the time, because I felt a feeling
of wrongness that the colliding a "superficial material for structural reinforcement" by the wood that was
camouflage in antique painting. While aware of the time di erence inherent in such material, I have
dared using an iron plate, it is why you feel that there is "aging aesthetics" of aging and the same quality
with the soil wall in black leather iron plate.

We have inserted an iron plate of structural reinforcement (steel wall and ceiling+floor plate) to the
existing building.  Since the bridge for crossing the building east of the waterway was decrepit, it was
established the bridge by the tube-shaped 12mm of steel plate, which also serves as the entrance of the
eaves.

The results of structural analysis, structural reinforcement by the 12mm steel plate, 4.5mm has made
