Look
The Japan Folk Crafts Museum Komaba ’26 ◎
Mingei as a way of seeing: ordinary things, useful things, handmade things, given full attention.
21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Roppongi ’26
Design treated as inquiry rather than lifestyle. A good room for seeing how Japan explains objects to itself.
Architecture
21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Roppongi ’26
Low, precise, and partly hidden. Architecture behaving more like a cut in the ground than a monument.
Tokyo Station Marunouchi ’26
A useful ending point that still knows how to carry ceremony, brick, movement, and departure.
Shop
Maruni Tokyo ’26
Furniture, wood, proportion, restraint. A room where design feels slower than the city outside.
LAMMAS Tokyo ’26
Cheese as a small specialist world. A good counterpoint to the predictable Tokyo shopping loop.
Eat
Nishiguchi Tokyo ’26
Marked by the recent path. Keep for now, then sharpen after the room is written properly.
