While strolling through Nihonbashi Muromachi, I was walking in front of a building facing the Nihonbashi River near Nihonbashi Kitazume Intersection, and through the glass door, I saw a model of a red brick building placed in the lobby on the first floor.
When I entered the building with curiosity and showed the model at the reception desk on the first floor lobby, the actual circular window of the model was embedded and preserved on the wall of the lobby.
This company is Daiei Fudosan Co. Established in 1950 in 1950, we are engaged in a wide range of real estate businesses, from renting buildings to developing and selling condominiums.
The model displayed in the lobby is the former headquarters building of the company. It was designed by Kingo Tatsuno, who helped many wonderful buildings such as Tokyo Station, the Bank of Japan head office, and the Osaka City Central Public Hall.
The company's former headquarters building also has an appearance that clearly shows the characteristics of the so-called Tatsuno-style architecture, with red bricks and white stones wrapped in a belt. In fact, the beautiful appearance facing the Nihonbashi River facing the Nihonbashi River is "Nihonbashi Red Brick Building" It seems that it was famous.
The current building (new head office building) completed in 1989 was built on the site of the former head office building (pictured below
).
By the way, this model seems to have been used in the movie "ALWAYS Continuing Sanchome Sunset", which precisely reproduced the cityscape of Tokyo in Showa with miniature and CG with a lot of attention.
The actual thing would have been wonderful, but the model building also conveys the beauty of the time and is wonderful.
The company's location is the red
frame on the map above.
This time, the company agreed to take photos in the lobby and provided information about the building.
Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m
