Built two years ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 by a diverse team of designers including architects Yoshiro Taniguchi and Hideo Kosaka, folk artist Shiko Munakata and potter Kenkichi Tomimoto. The design of the building adopted a modern aesthetic that would still reference the traditional colours, shapes and crafts of Japan. The Okura is now sadly demolished so this gorgeous book documents a lost relic of Japanese modernism. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenderbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56060710027641,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/8029\/files\/Tenderbooks-31_c22f4124-abe0-452c-adfe-080fba9a19c0.jpg?v=1782927656","url":"https:\/\/tenderbooks.pro\/products\/hotel-okura","provider":"Tenderbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
