The exterior design seems to have a motif of openwork sculpture.

The facility is from 2 floors underground to 12 floors above ground, with a total floor area of about 7,382 square meters.

The composition of each floor seems to be like this.

The scenery of Ginza is changing rapidly.

By the way, "The Jumonji of Owaricho", which appears in Jiro Asada's novel "Tenkimatsu" series, is this "Ginza 4-chome intersection".

Currently, at the Megumi Ogita Gallery in Ginza 2-chome, Kazuo Otani's new solo exhibition "ONE" is being held.

The period is from Friday, December 11 to 26 (Sat).

Mr. Otani has been involved in crossover activities, including famous musicians led by Yukihiro Takahashi of YMO and collaborations with fashion brands.

The dynamism touch and bright colors are very pleasant to see.

I have a mysterious impression that is neither abstract nor concrete.

The eyes of the animals drawn are characteristic.

In this exhibition "ONE", about 30 latest works with the meaning of "become one" are exhibited as the title suggests.

Please appreciate the work of Mr. Otani, "Pop Star of Creation and Destruction"
