la kagu
(pag 197)
Located in front of Kagurazaka subway station, this commercial facility, combined stores and cafe, opened last autumn. It deals clothing, tableware, books, furniture and other errands. The cafe is on the first floor and it opens eight in the morning. The second floor has a hall where they hold bookish events on books and their authors. The building was originally a warehouse of a major publisher and the architect left the most of the existing structure to make the most of the ambience. The front stairs look like a topographical model and the organic curve lines are impressive. This might be one among hip life-style shops in cities.
