4 statues at the entrance of the main building of the Takashimaya Nihonbashi store

　The Takashimaya Nihonbashi store (footnote 1) was designated as the first important cultural property in department store construction in 2009.

It is one of the largest department store buildings that have survived since the early Showa era, and both interior and exterior have a good initial appearance.　According to the booklet given to the very kind concierge of the store, the store was very kind.　

"In architecture, Sadataro Takahashi, who won the first prize in a blueprint competition seeking the style of" Oriental Hobby Tosuru Modern Architecture ", was adopted.　The design of Japanese-style architecture can be seen everywhere in the solid Western style.　On the other hand, the extension by Togo Murano, which inherits Takahashi's design and incorporates plenty of modern architecture techniques.　It is a masterpiece of Showa architecture, which has been expanded for about 30 years since its completion in 1933, and shows a wonderful harmony. ]

　Inside the building of this important cultural property, there are ammonites buried in marble and manual elevators of hospitality.
