La toile is a standalone house nestled in the satoyama, built in the 1950s when Japan was entering its period of rapid economic growth. The challenge was how to incorporate the passage of "50 years" while preserving the natural textures of the materials that make up the building. The answer, reached after much effort, was inspired by the "Schindler House," a masterpiece by Rudolph Schindler, a pioneer of American Modernism. It resembles a Japanese house manifested in America, yet it was built with a design philosophy distinct from traditional Japanese architecture—a fusion of modernism and Japanese culture. An homage to the 1950s and a blend of Japanese architecture and modernism. As a hidden retreat in the Shimosa district of Takase Town, far removed from typical tourist destinations, La toile awaits your visit.

The scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, showcasing its seasonal beauty, is a timeless landscape that has remained largely unchanged since ancient times, offering a sense of eternity. The name "HYOUBOU" is a coined term combining "Hanada-iro" (a traditional Japanese color, a bright pale blue) and "Bouyou" (a vast and boundless expanse). It was named after the color of the early spring sky as seen from the gently elevated hill where the buildings stand, and the endless expanse of the sky and sea.
