I want to be an Edo kid

Nihonbashi Takashimaya at the time of its foundation was revived!

Next to the front stage on the first floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C. Main Building, Junpei Mitsui, the only Lego® certified professional builder in Japan, produced about 40,000 pieces of Lego® blocks (1/72 scale) at the time of its opening in 1933 (Showa 8) is on display.

The appearance of the Nihonbashi Takashimaya Main Building, which was designated as a national important cultural property for the first time as a department store building, is elaborately and faithfully reproduced with the Lego® block. A streetcar passes in front of the building as reminiscent of those days, and the lights installed in the front of the building have been restored to the state before being offered by the metal collection order during the war, making me very happy .

Nihonbashi Takashimaya celebrates its 90th anniversary since its opening in 1933. I was really impressed by the fact that not only preserved the store as an important cultural property, but also the use of modern arrangements. And when you enter from the front entrance of the main building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C., you can still enjoy the heavy and solemn atmosphere of its foundation.
