Exhibition Design
Setting plants in acrylic resin, proposing the fusion of taxidermized specimens and projection mapping for the “NATURE WALL,” creating the “599 GUIDE” to clearly convey Mt. Takao facts and figures, and of course, producing exhibition graphics. We created a comprehensive communication system for the entire museum.
Takao 599 Museum opens the door to your curiosity.

Museum Font
The museum’s original font is created with organic nuances that resemble plants. It is used in signage, exhibition graphics, the museum website, and other communication tools to unify the identity of TAKAO 599 MUSEUM.
Pictograms
With ultimately smooth scalability and motion affinity, the pictogram system is designed to translate well across all media, whether dynamic or static, large or small, web or print. The pictogram indicating the difficulty of the climbing course intrinsically conveys the joy of climbing, aiding with instinctive as well as informative communication.
599 GUIDE
599 GUIDE materials introduce information visually, from Mt. Takao’s history and seasonal highlights to climbing etiquette and routes. Mussan, a flying squirrel, provides children with a fun overview of the rules, while the unknown charms of Mt. Takao are revealed through numbers. Climbing routes are illustrated in a way that allows visitors to choose the path that will best fit their goals and skill level. The GUIDE includes a variety of innovations designed to help visitors of all ages enjoy their time on the mountain.
Museum Goods
The museum gift shop includes such goods as a locally produced wooden ruler used to closely observe Mt. Takao’s nature; violets and cherry blossoms set in acrylic resin; and notebooks and t-shirts adorned with the museum logo.
TAKAO 599 FUND
In addition to 10% of the proceeds from museum goods, a donation box built from local lumber collects funds to help protect Mt. Takao’s natural environment.
