Antiquarian Book Shop

Tokyo, Japan

This is an antiquarian bookstore that is located on the first floor of a building facing Yasukuni Street in Jimbocho.

We installed only one strip of wall.

The wall curves and extends outward, creating various places in the store, wrapping the building and subtly reflecting the surrounding colors, products, people's movements, and the weather.

This is an antiquarian bookstore where these elements change and mix with each other to create a kind of landscape that appears only at that moment.
