Project Introduction

Kyoto Municipal Yase Elementary School

Kyoto Municipal Yase Elementary School

This is a plan to rebuild an elementary school planned for the Hasekura district in the northern part of Kyoto City. The Hasekura district is a region with rich historical and cultural heritage, including a festival called the "Amenshige Odori" (Kyoto City Intangible Folk Cultural Property), which has been passed down for over 300 years.
The elementary schools in this area have served not only as places of education, but also as places for practicing the Amonji Dance and for gathering in the community.
This new school, built with a view to the past, is designed to not only serve as a hub for the local community, but also to incorporate the unique culture, personality, and abundant nature of the Hasekawa area.
