Awarded Good Design in 2023. Morioka Bus Center
is a private facility that has been a popular infrastructure for citizens for more than half a century since 1960. The building was aging and although plans were made to rebuild it, there was no prospect of redevelopment and it was closed in 2016. In order to maintain the bus terminal function, Morioka City acquired land in advance and revived it as a private-private partnership project in October 2022. In addition to functioning as a bus terminal, the new bus center also has commercial facilities such as a food hall, hotel, and spa where you can enjoy Morioka’s unique cuisine.

Heralbony is an art agency that works with unique artists to create a new culture with the mission of “Unleash your uniqueness.” We manage the licenses of more than 2,000 pieces of art data drawn by domestic and international artists, mainly those with intellectual
disabilities, and are developing them into a variety of businesses. Rather than providing support, we work as equal business partners, respecting the artist’s wishes while proceeding with the project, and building a system to pay them fair royalties.
In addition to HERALBONY, a brand that uses art to transform society, we also have an account business that supports corporate DE&I promotion through the planning and production of products and spaces, creative production that accurately conveys initiatives, and employee training programs, and challenges new “common sense”.

We are developing a multifaceted business, including an art business that operates “GALLERY”. By delivering “distinctness” to society in various forms, we aim to change the image of “disability” and create a society where 8 billion people with unique characteristics can live as they are.
