There is a town that flourished over 150 years ago, The town’s name is Sawara.(Chiba,Japan) The area is now decided on a preservation district of traditional wooden buildings. the mission is to remodel the old reinforced concrete futon store in that area into a cafe.

This building was sufficiently old as a building of RC (nearly 50 years old), but I heard that there was a strange impression compared with the surrounding wooden building.
