キノマタ商店
Kinomata Store
Between the second-floor windows stand columns that look like twisted rope. The comment accompanying the photo describes this Ginza shop as "a clean, California-style building."
About this photo
Under a sign in Western letters, five tall windows line the second floor of this two-story shop. Below the windows, "キノマタ商店" (Kinomata Store) is written in katakana, and on the ground floor, behind a flat eave, latticed glass doors stand on the left and right. To the left is a sign with the character 洋 (Western), and to the right are a utility pole and a building whose wall looks like stacked stone.
The table of contents lists this shop first of all, under the name "キノマタ株式會社" (Kinomata Company). The comment that goes with the photo calls it "a clean, California-style building," and goes on to say that the three-dimensional play of the display windows is especially clever.
On the slim columns between the second-floor windows, twisted grooves like the strands of a rope run from top to bottom. The columns at both ends are the same, so six columns frame the five windows.
