Shin Puh Kan

The new “Shin Puh Kan” consists of a “conservation building” that retains part of the telephone station and a “new building” supervised by architect Kengo Kuma. In the center of the building is a lush green courtyard where Kohei Nawa/SANDWICH’s artwork 《Ether (Octagon)》 is installed. The exterior and ceilings are made of wooden frames, giving a sense of Japanese warmth.
