The Kanmon Straits exists between Honshu and Kyushu island of Japan. From ancient times, there were a lot of important events in the history of Japan around this area.

The building in the photograph is "Kanmon Straits museum" which is designed by Man Senda(E.D.I. ,Japan) on Kyushu side.  I produced total exhibit design of this museum.
