架构师提供的文本描述。八月，尼布塔节(起源于8世纪)的狂热降临在青森。尼布塔，每年重新创造，采取巨大(9×7×5.5米)纸灯笼的形式，就像浮灯一样，展示来自日本和中国历史的战士，以及神话中的戏剧性姿态，经常显示战争场景。大约有20多个大尼布塔在街上游行，伴随着鼓、竹笛和成群穿着传统服装的狂欢者，跳舞和吟唱。

Text description provided by the architects. In August, Nebuta Festival (origin 8th century) fever descends upon Aomori. Nebuta, created anew each year, take the form of huge (9 x 7 x 5.5 m) paper lantern like floats showing warriors from Japanese and Chinese history and myth in dramatic poses often showing battle scenes. Roughly 20 large Nebuta are paraded through the streets accompanied by drums, bamboo flutes and hordes of revelers in traditional attire, dancing and chanting.

Nebuta-No-ie Warasse致力于尼布塔节的各个方面.位于青森火车站前，有城市交汇海，该建筑于2011年1月5日开业。当游客走近时，这座建筑和它的广场构成了青森湾的景色。由12米高的钢带组成的屏风包裹着整个建筑，并覆盖着一条室外人行道，这是尼布塔神话世界和当代城市之间的一道门槛。每条丝带都被扭曲和弯曲，形成光、景和通道的开口。

The Nebuta-no-ie Warasse is dedicated to all aspects of the Nebuta festival. Located in front of Aomori train station, there were the city meets the sea, the building was opened on January 5th 2011. As visitors approach, the building and its plaza frame a view of Aomori Bay. A screen of twelve meter tall steel ribbons wraps the whole building and encloses an outdoor walkway, a threshold between the mythical world of Nebuta and the contemporary city. Each ribbon is twisted and bended to form openings for light, views and passageways.

在里面，星云，发光的生物，将居住在黑暗中。人类进入了一个巨人的世界。游客首先参观尼布塔节和青森城的历史，到达一个高层平台，让他们与真正的尼布塔斯意见一致。一条斜坡向下延伸到尼布塔大厅，这是一个大型T形空间，通过简单的黑色材料选择：黑色抛光混凝土地板、黑色灰泥墙和黑色油漆天花板，在夜间重现城市街道的黑暗。这种物质在整个建筑中占主导地位，除了唯一的两个突出的白色核心。每年，五个新获奖的尼布塔开始居住在尼布塔-不-即瓦拉斯和设计和建造尼布塔的循环重新开始。

Inside, the Nebuta, luminous creatures, will reside in darkness. Humans enter into a world of giants. Visitors first travel through the history of the Nebuta festival and Aomori city, to arrive at an upper level platform that brings them eye to eye with the real Nebutas. A ramp descends into the Nebuta Hall, a large T-shaped space that recreates the darkness of the city streets by night through the simple choice of black materials: black polished concrete floors, black stucco walls and a black painted ceiling. This materiality is dominant through out the whole building except for the only two white cores that stand out. Each year, five new prize winning Nebuta take up residence in the Nebuta-no-ie Warasse and the cycle of designing and constructing the Nebuta starts all over again.
