フジハラビル, Commercial building in Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan
The Fujihara Building is a four-story reinforced concrete structure with one basement level, located in the Tenjinbashi district. It combines commercial use with art gallery spaces and represents an early example of modern urban construction.
The building was constructed in 1923 during a period of rapid modernization in Osaka's commercial districts. Its design reflects the architectural changes that transformed the city in the early 20th century.
The building houses gallery spaces where local artists regularly display their work and organize cultural events. These spaces serve as an active gathering point for the creative community in the neighborhood.
The building is accessible within about a 7-minute walk from Minami-morimachi Station on the Tanimachi subway line. This location makes it easy to reach for visitors exploring the galleries and surrounding neighborhood.
The building gained national attention when it appeared in the 2009 NHK television drama series Welkame as the exterior of a publishing house. This media exposure brought recognition beyond the local art community.
