Private Aquarium - Ichiro Harada



Landscape architect Ichiro Harada designed and handcrafted this Private Aquarium for tropical fish from acrylic resin plates. It is a 10litre tank with an 11cm width with a built in illuminating lamp...and I am in love. Cylinders span the entire width of the tank acting as a handle for the user to change the viewing angle of the fish. Not only that, but they also help to provide structural resistance to water pressure. If you ask me, I think the four years of development was well worth it.

I discovered this at the Hara Museum shop, and cannot find any more [english] information on the fish tank or the designer. It costs about 20300 Yen.
