The random arrangement of wooden lattices across the shop space is inspired by tebo, or eel-catching baskets. Ink-dyed mortar is used for the floor to create a cozy atmosphere with the gentle use of black ink. The facade features copper plates. The surfaces of the dyed plates are acid-corroded to express the ever-changing water surface under which eels swim around.
