OCHIISHI PLAN is a project started in 2008 by two copperplate engraving artists, Sotaro Ide and Toshiya Takahama, and continues to this day.
The purpose of this project is to explore new ways of communication from the standpoint of relaying messages, and by fitting it into the format of a tea room, to create an extremely private space for conversation in the public space that was previously open to the outside world as a radio station.
