Tokyo Architecture, the new Matsuya Ginza

Fri, April 4, 2014, by Muza-chan

Since the last year’s autumn, Matsuya, the oldest department store in Ginza, has a new look, designed by the well-known architect Kenya Hara. The building is completely white during the day, but by night it becomes brightly colored with stripes in alternating colors (I photographed here the purple version), a perfect image for the glamorous Ginza.
