Award-Winning Monument

About the Design

This design features Black, Dark Gray, Silver, Gray, and Light Gray.

About the Award-Winning Monument Design: This monument expresses the memory of Life Science based on the genome sequence of DNA, the foundation of Life Science. Genome is the memory of life from its origins to the present, and the monument incorporates natural objects that have nurtured people, and craftsmanship passed down through the ages in Japan, as traces of life. Touching upon the origins that people have accumulated, the monument embodies the mysteries of life science revealed through human memories.

This palette has a cozy feel, creating warmth and vitality.
