About the Kambara & Tsuneishi Foundation

  • Message
    We believe that a love for the art of architecture and a respect for the wisdom, technologies, and ideas of our predecessors is essential not just for individuals but for society. The Kambara & Tsuneishi Foundation was born from this belief, with four distinct missions. Through the art of architecture, we will: advocate for futuristic city planning, nurture the sensibilities of future generations, revitalize local communities, and preserve examples of exceptional architecture in the regions.

    Having witnessed the early envoys of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Joseon missions from Korea, and the Kitamaebune merchant ships of the Edo Period, the Seto Inland Sea has for centuries served as a hub of culture and transportation. Across this sea, Japan has invited people and cultures from abroad, while also transmitting its culture to the world. As a result, the Seto Inland Sea region is a trove of architectural treasures, dating from ancient times to the present.

    We look forward to collaborating widely to explore how we can leverage this unique history to foster the development of a unique and attractive society replete with flourishing international exchange around architecture.
