Text description provided by the architects. Grow, Harvest, Eat, Play, Study! “Oishii” means delicious in Japanese. A project to open a small field in Kumano Shingu as a private-public space (a park, a library). The site is two buildings across the temple from "Youth Library Engawa". There is an elementary school across the street, and it is a place where children can see it well. "Youth Library Engawa" opened in 2013 as a "library where you can stay" by renovating an old private house. At the same time as providing lodging for travelers, it also provides a public space open to local residents (especially children).

With the spread of covid-19 in 2020, “Youth Library Engawa” began to think about new ways of outdoor public spaces. The concept that emerged was the "Oishii Park," which opened the field to the community as a park, and then made it a place for reading books connected to the "Youth Library Engawa.". Many studies were carried out on how to create a field where people can visit, gather, stay, read books, and interact. We investigated the changes in the position of the sunshine and shade in the summertime on the premises, mapped out what we would like to do in the "Oishii Park", and examined how it would look from the elementary school and alleyways.

As a result of superimposing them, I decided to create a long three-dimensional bench that flows at the west end of the site (it reminds me of the rivers, waterfalls, and mountains of Kumano). Considering that it is a DIY construction, it can be constructed without skilled skills, and at the same time, there is also a process where you can learn carpentry techniques.
