This is the sign for a Chinese restaurant in Tomoda-cho, Wakayama City.

The design concept is based on the words "Onko Chishin" (learning from the past, learning from the future) - a phrase that made a lasting impression on me as owner-chef Sumii.

A single Japanese lotus flower blooms in the foreground, separated by a river from the misty, hazy mountains of China.

We aimed for a sign that truly reflects Sumii, who continues to explore the history of Chinese cuisine, use local ingredients, and take on new challenges.
