A nurturing "circle" for the local children

Yamanami Nursery School

Yamanami nursery school in Obama, Fukui prefecture, is located at the foot of mountains rich in nature. We have created a “circle” of wood decking that goes up and down and around the artificial mounds of the school yard. It performs multiple functions such as a foot path for a stroll, a playground for the children, a spectator’s area on sports days, and a stage for photoshoots. The “circle” gently wraps around the children’s everyday life.
