There was a surprise that children in the Meiji and Taisho eras played with such things, such as paper games, cartas, tin and wooden toys, and I wanted to put them in the room as an antique and stare still.

While Ginza Chuo-dori is full of Christmas illuminations, this space in the building facing the street is a mysterious and quiet space that falls into the illusion as if it were a time slip.flair
