ありがとうございました。 Thank you Tsutaya.

Tsutaya Daikanyama is a lifestyle bookstore that sells much more than books. It has an elegant atmosphere and an abundant collection of books, stationery, pens and movies. Tsutaya bookstores are created and tailored around the communities where they plan their stores. The set of buildings in Daikanyama is a complex of specialized bookstores, cafes, restaurants and additional lifestyle stores that are part of the community.

The building was designed by architects Klein Dytham who are the same architects behind the Selfridges Wonder Room in London, and many other buildings in Japan: http://openbuildings.com/professionals/klein-dytham-architects-professional-56168 The building is designed in a T shape. We’re told the Daikanyama community has many artists. http://tsutaya.tsite.jp
