Entrance gate to the Japanese National<br />

Museum of Art<br />

The gateway to the National Museum of Art is designed to express the vitality of bamboo and the<br />

progress and growth of modern art. The structural material is stainless steel, which is equivalent<br />

or superior to carbon steel in load-bearing. Stainless steel is also highly durable and can be welded<br />

on-site. A photo-catalytic coating has been applied to highlight the clean appearance of stainless<br />

steel. The gate serves not only as the symbol of the museum but also as the entrance gate to the<br />

local community.<br />
