    Shiman City, located in the southwestern part of Kochi Prefecture, boasts rich forest resources and the last clear stream in Japan, the Shiman-to River. Visitors come for canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and surfing at the beaches, while drives and cycling offer breathtaking views of the sinking bridges and mountains. The new Shiman-to-Pia (Shiman City Cultural Center) opened in April 2024 as a place for citizens to relax, replacing the old Shiman City Cultural Center and Central Community Center. The “Suminoe Art Stage Curtain” was chosen for this facility. The design of the drapery captures the shimmering surface of the Shiman-to River reflecting the symbol of Shiman City, the "Red Iron Bridge" (Shiman-to River Bridge, Watarigawa Bridge), and was created by FABRIKO Inc. Utilizing a variety of unique patterns without repetition, special attention was paid to the vividness of the red. Additionally, by designing the drapery to match the chair upholstery, the seating, floor, and walls harmonize to create a cohesive space. Uniquely, the system allows for both a split-opening mechanism and a lift-up feature. The soft texture characteristic of jacquard drapery enhances the overall design during opening and closing. We hope this drapery will be loved by the citizens along with the facility for years to come.
