Art direction / Branding / Concept making / Logo design

Daichi

As societal values undergo significant changes, there is increasing attention towards multi-location living and relocating to rural areas. However, the hurdles to taking that first step remain high. Moreover, Japan has countless untapped lands with inherent charm that are not fully utilized. Focusing on such terrains, a new business was launched to attempt innovative architectural designs and create new landscapes. This new company, "DAICHI," is rooted in nature's abundant environment and engages in planning, development, and management of accommodations, commercial ventures, and regional branding. I am responsible for the company's creative direction and continue to be an active member of the team.

The era of proactive luxury that finds value in experiences.

There is a considerable interest in camping among people, but the barriers to entry remain high. (Having to acquire camping gear, setting up tents, dealing with the hassle of starting a fire, dealing with insects, being dependent on weather conditions, etc.) Additionally, many emerging glamping experiences tend to be over-prepared, resulting in an experience that feels more like staying in a regular hotel rather than a true camping experience.

In retrospect, creativity and insights have always emerged from small inconveniences.

Amidst this, we have created a business concept that promotes "a new proactive luxury that finds value in experiential living." /Concept/ A place with another sense of belonging. It may be small in scale, but each aspect holds remarkable strength. Perhaps because it stands firmly rooted in the land, embracing its natural character. Within this place lies a richness of insights yet to be discovered, unlike that found in villas or glamping experiences. There, you can dive right into the heart of nature without having to start from scratch. Whether you choose to live or work there is up to you. You can do anything or nothing at all. Certainly, there are things that won't be given to you, but in retrospect, creativity and realizations have always emerged from small inconveniences. Beyond a low threshold lies a powerful and profound experience. Feel free to dive in without hesitation, even if you stumble a little. Step firmly on this land that serves as another base. This represents a new proactive luxury of the era that values experiential living.

Rooted in the earth" or "Grounded in the land.

One of the most vital aspects of this venture lies in "bringing out the unique charm of each location and becoming a companion to nature in creating the landscape." We pay attention to the mountain vegetation and wind flow, carefully constructing individualized landscapes for each place. To express this idea in a simple and direct way, we developed a logo type. Built on the design concept of "Rooted in the earth," the brand merges harmoniously with the earth (symbolized by the horizon), and its activities are represented by a graceful single line that extends through the earth, evoking a sense of lightness and continuity reaching all corners of the globe.
