The objective of this paper is to extract the design elements of Takashi Sugimoto's 55 works from 1990 to 2018, classify them, and clarify their characteristics. It became clear that many of the basic design elements and specific design elements were used in the works classified into nine groups. It was also shown that the group of design elements in which the work appears changes according to the chronological transition of each type of work. Comparing the works before 1989 and after 1990, it is characteristic that the number of design elements after 1990 has increased dramatically. In addition, by "avoiding arbitrary design," a method to respond to the increase in the size of stores was required. Therefore, many works by "editing" method have appeared, suggesting that direction has been emphasized.
