“Stage and Corridor” design idea

Unity and Luminous, Degree and Hall
“WAKO’s flagship store is a Ginza icon, giving any renovation major significance. In redesigning the basement floor, we settled on the theme ‘Stage and Corridor.’ At the center of the space is a stage with long and short ‘hands’ that can be turned like a clock’s. Around the stage runs a corridor enclosed by wooden grilles, allowing visitors to stroll comfortably around the sales area. This Neo-Renaissance space glows serenely with harmonious light. This evokes the Japanese concept of ‘wa’ or harmony, which we pursued as a motif throughout the design. The materials used include rare and specially acquired items from around Japan, ranging from Kirishima and Yanase cedar to stonework and ‘fusuma’ (sliding door)-style paper from Kyoto. The faint aroma of cedar wood in the air and the traditional Japanese craftsmanship evident throughout the space are sure to foster a tranquil, harmonious state of mind.”
