Kayanoya Ginza
In Ginza—Tokyo’s vibrant district frequented by international visitors—we designed a shop using wood to create a space where visitors can experience Japan’s forests through all five senses.
The façade, composed of slender wooden elements with subtly varying dimensions arranged three-dimensionally, offers a range of expressions depending on the season and time of day, bringing a sense of calm and tranquility to Ginza’s dense, hard-edged urban fabric.
For the interior, we also incorporated natural Japanese materials such as washi paper and stone, creating a gentle, soft space befitting a shop centered around Japanese dashi (soup stock).
