This is a renovation of a factory and warehouse of a company dealing with processed paper in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. The building is adjacent to the Kamoi Kakoshi Paper No. 3 Agitation Mill Archives (1205), which has been converted into a reference room and lounge. The building is 55m long and 20m short, and was once a single room. CTs were added to the sides of the columns, and braces were installed between the columns above the wall to reinforce the building against earthquakes.
