Surprised!! The second building looks like art school or something. Or the owner is an artist? People look at this building once , they will never forget it. Anyway this is a good landmark. Thank you for sharing very interesting photos. Kaori, have a nice day.
The building is just amazing! The combination of tiles is very cool, it seems to be something in between the portuguese tile work and Gaudi's work. :-)
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for leaving a comment! Sorry I haven't been able to comment back often. I think I agree with you all...a mix between Islamic and Spain/Protugues! I may have to go by and ask how this building came about sometime!
Snowwhite, Evelyn, Masae -- I'm not sure about the first floor but it seems that the floors above are all apartment units! Isn't that wild? :D
Chrissy -- that's what I thought, too! It's definitely not something we see everyday in Japan, very rare ;D
Cool buildings...
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly does.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought of my local library. Then I thought of Gaudi. Such as here.
That's brilliant. The first shot looks like Spain or Portugal!
ReplyDeletethey're pretty, reminds me a bit of Macau actually,
ReplyDeletethe architect of this bldg, is definitely creative. ^0^
That is extraordinary - it certainly stands out in a big way.

ReplyDeleteI've missed your blog. It's great to catch up. So many beautiful shots here.
Really interesting building- Islamic art or central Asian rather than Japanese in style?

Yeah, that it not the kind of building that I would expect to see in Japan. But I love it! It is so eclectic and fun.
