Sumitomo Realty Enters Joint Project with Toppan Printing
Involving Artists with Disabilities
Participating in the “Kanosei* Art Project,” Featuring theUnlimited Potential Shown by Borderless Art
Art Exhibit on the Site of a Large Building in Central Tokyo
Sumitomo Realty & Development Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; president: Kojun Nishima) has
joined the Kanosei Art Project, which Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. has been promoting since 2018. Through thisproject, Toppan Printing aims to showcase works by artists with disabilities in its own printing technologies,
through exhibitions and various products.
Sumitomo Realty is currently developing an office building in Kita Shinagawa, in Tokyo’s Shinagawa-ku,
named the Sumitomo Fudosan Osaki Higashi Project. As the first step of our involvement in the Kanosei ArtProject, at the end of 2020 we began displaying artists’ works on the walls of a temporary enclosure
surrounding the building site.
The works are scheduled to be on display until February 28, 2022. Going forward, Sumitomo Realty plans tointroduce the works of artists with disabilities and support their efforts by displaying their works in various ways.
One method is to showcase their art in city-center buildings visited by large numbers of people.
The Significance of Sumitomo Realty’s Participation
Sumitomo Realty strives to address social issues through its business activities. As part of these measures, wehave worked to create arenas where people with disabilities can thrive, one of which being office environmentsthat are friendly and conducive to them. We have begun participating in this art project because we agree withToppan Printing’s approach of “going beyond offering support for people with disabilities to create sustainable
initiatives with them as business partners.” As with other projects in which the Sumitomo Realty Group isinvolved, such as charity concerts and photo contests, through this project, we strive to support creative
activities by providing places for people to come into contact with art and culture. In addition to this significance,
displaying artwork on the temporary enclosures surrounding the site alleviates the bleak monotony of walls,
creating a more inviting atmosphere and enhancing the area’s aesthetics while construction is underway.

This is one of the works submitted
for the Kanosei Art Project 2020
by Toppan Printing and theBorderless Art Organization under
the theme of “unlimited potential
shown by borderless art.”

In 2018, Toppan Printing launched the Kanosei* Art Project, which combines support for theindependence of people with disabilities with corporate human resource development. The project aims toleverage Toppan Printing’s printing technologies to create a business model that fosters the creation ofvalue (commercialization) of works by artists with disabilities, and simultaneously seek to resolve socialissues (the independence of people with disabilities) while obtaining results commercially. To cultivate
next-generation leaders, the formulation of this business model has also been adopted as part of Toppan
Printing’s corporate training program.
* “Kanosei” is the Japanese for “potential” or “possibilities.”

Key Features■ Smooth access in multiple directions• The building is accessible via multiple JR lines from nearby Osaki and Gotanda stations, as well as from
Shinagawa Station, with service to Shinkansen lines and Haneda Airport. The building thus offers smoothtransport links, making the facility convenient for sales activities, transport between locations, and forbusiness trips.
■ Office floors that foster efficient, comfortable working environments• The standard floor area is more than 1,797 m2 (approximately 543 tsubo), allowing organizational functions
to be integrated into a single space. The space is also free of pillars or columns, allowing for diverse layouts.
This space facilitates working environments that promote interaction, suiting it to modern-day office needs.
■ Base-isolated structure to ensure a structurally robust building that is safe and secure• The lower part of the building contains a seismic isolation structure designed to absorb shaking and provide
safety and a sense of security.
■ Enhanced BCP measures with redundant electrical backup system• To ensure disaster preparedness, the building has access to three sources of electric power. In addition,tanks within the building store enough fuel oil to run generators for 72 hours. This redundant power backup
system is part of our enhanced BCP measures.
