The Textile Exporters House

The Textile Exporters House is an office and exhibition building in Binkomachi designed by architect Togo Murano in 1960. The structure features large windows across multiple floors that flood the interior with natural light, combined with clean architectural lines characteristic of its post-war era.

The building was constructed in 1960 during Japan's economic expansion period to support international textile trade. It represents an era when Japanese export companies were establishing their presence in global markets.

The building served as a meeting place where textile traders could present fabrics and connect with overseas buyers during Japan's export boom. Visitors can sense how commerce shaped the daily use of these rooms and corridors.

The building is centrally located in Binkomachi and easy to access. The interior is bright and spacious with multiple levels that flow naturally from one to another.

The structure won the BCS Prize for its architectural quality and stands as a notable example of post-war Japanese commercial design. This recognition made it an important reference point for architects designing modern office buildings.
