Inside, Seibu said the aim was to make the carriages feel like a "living room", so that passengers can relax whilst travelling.
Her design will be rolled out on a limited number of express-route trains, and is expected to go into service in 2018.
Seibu Group said that the train would be the first designed by Sejima, and that the design aimed to be "soft" and "blend into the landscape". culled
