To realize this objective, the stations needed fascinating, fresh and powerful designs. The location of the works themselves differs from station to station. For instance, the Iidabashi Station, which appeared in the posters publicizing the opening of the new line, has a unique large-scale structure. The hieroglyphics are said to be of universal significance. The posters will be replaced with other typographical works every two years.
Commuters can literally get a hands-on feel for the work.
Most other design pieces can be found near the ticket gates. It's located at the center of Bunkyo-ku, a gateway to cultural and historical points of interest as well as the Koishikawa Botanical Gardens, sports and amusement spots, including the Tokyo Dome and the Korakuen amusement park. The work consists of a ceramic panel divided into five sections of different colors, each containing a geometric motif at the center of the panel. The artist who created the work, Kijuro Yahagi, said that he tried to express passion and freshness. His computer graphic-based work is realized in 2.5 meter high by 10 meter long ceramic sheets.
