1928 Building, Historic building from 1928 in Kyoto, Japan
The 1928 Building features traditional Japanese architectural elements combined with early 20th-century structural techniques, incorporating wooden components and tiled roofing patterns.
The construction of the 1928 Building coincided with the coronation ceremonies of Emperor Hirohito, reflecting the rapid urban development of Kyoto during that period.
The building maintains a connection to ceramic artist Kawai Kanjiro, who held exhibitions in the space during its early years of operation.
Located near Sanjo Street, the 1928 Building currently houses art galleries and creative spaces where visitors can explore contemporary exhibitions throughout the year.
The restoration process preserved original handcrafted elements and materials, with different sections displaying varying textures that highlight construction methods from the 1920s.
