The Imperial Mama Building in the movie "Always 3-chome sunset" is revived

You can watch the "Red Brick Building" in Nihonbashi, which was loved by Tokyo citizens who revived the Imperial Mama Building in the movie "Always 3-chome Sunset", where the building was built.

Imperial hemp was founded in 1907 in Meiji 40 (1907), and the headquarters "Aka Brick Building" was established eight years later. Daiei Fudosan moved to a building that survived the fire by air raids and saw post-war reconstruction in 1958, but was dismantled in 1987 due to aging. The company rebuilt the building with the same layout on the same site and is still using it.

A precision 1/24 miniature is on display in the lobby on the first floor. This was restored by the company after taking over what was used to shoot "Always 3-chome sunset".

The red and white finish of red bricks and stones, a dome that rides on the corner, and a balcony that protrudes from the windows between the second and third levels, are designed to be decorative with the eyes of many ships passing through the Nihonbashi River. "It is a famous story among experts that Dr. Tatsuno was deeply devoted to the aesthetics of the Imperial City" (Daiei Fudosan document).
