Feature 1: Site Template 10 for use with Tablet Devices
Touch Device-Compliant Templates that You can Read and Learn! Ingenious. Open for Commercial Use.

This feature introduces “templates created with tablet usability in mind” by a total of 10 creators, who share key features of their respective work. You can either use those templates as they are or learn the ropes of tablet operation.

YOSHIMURA Koichi (Creative Director)_The Beauty of Nature and Format on the Palm
There is a product called “Sola Cube,” in which a plant is enclosed in transparent acrylic. What is encased there is peculiar yet beautiful plant life. YOSHIMURA Koichi, the creator of this piece, produces work with his original stance that is different from that of an “artist.” Why does he create? How did he come to make such a piece to begin with?
