  • Sunnyhills is a cake shop or bakery in Aoyama Tokyo that specializes in a type of pineapple cake.  The building has been designed with very unique architecture, covered with three dimensional lattices of wooden slats that form around the exterior of shop.  It was designed by architect Kengo Kuma.  This joint system, used in making shoji paper doors is called Jiigoku Gumi and despite its modern look it is in fact a traditional method used in Japanese wooden architecture. That is, vertical and horizontal cross pieces of the same width are entwined in each other to form a grid.  Traditionally the two pieces intersect in two dimensions, but in the case of this building they take on different dimensions which gives its form.  The architect wanted to give the building a softer atmosphere to blend in with the neighborhood so wood was used.

  • Hirosawa Museum is a private art museum in Ibaraki Prefecture. The architecture was designed by world-famous architect Kengo Kuma and the Japanese garden that occupies most of the site was designed by modern gardeners Chuichi Saito and Shunsaku Miyagi.  Chuichi Saito, who studied under Mirei Shigemori described it as a “museum where stones play a leading role”.   Hirosawa City, where this museum is located, is actually a “comprehensive leisure facility" that embraces the themes of nature, health and culture with museums, rail parks, farms, lodges, art cafes, studios, and a Museum of Stone across the road from the museum.  The museum itself exhibits art by Japanese painters Itaya Hazan, Taikan Yokoyama, Ryuzaburo Umehara, Leonard Fujita and works by Western painters such as  Georges Rouault and Bernard Buffet.<br />
Surrounding the delta shaped museum - that looks like a back sword when viewed from the air - are the gardens which are first and foremost the main attractions.  The front garden is called Shijima no Niwa and the back garden is called Homura no Niwa, which mainly consists of stones and sculptures both designed by Miyagi Shunsaku.  The main garden Kiyora no Niwa is Saito Chuichi's creation.  All three gardens, as an ensemble are called "Tsukuha no Niwa".

  • Hirosawa Museum is a private art museum in Ibaraki Prefecture. The architecture was designed by world-famous architect Kengo Kuma and the Japanese garden that occupies most of the site was designed by modern gardeners Chuichi Saito and Shunsaku Miyagi.  Chuichi Saito, who studied under Mirei Shigemori described it as a “museum where stones play a leading role”.   Hirosawa City, where this museum is located, is actually a “comprehensive leisure facility" that embraces the themes of nature, health and culture with museums, rail parks, farms, lodges, art cafes, studios, and a Museum of Stone across the road from the museum.  The museum itself exhibits art by Japanese painters Itaya Hazan, Taikan Yokoyama, Ryuzaburo Umehara, Leonard Fujita and works by Western painters such as  Georges Rouault and Bernard Buffet.<br />
Surrounding the delta shaped museum - that looks like a back sword when viewed from the air - are the gardens which are first and foremost the main attractions.  The front garden is called Shijima no Niwa and the back garden is called Homura no Niwa, which mainly consists of stones and sculptures both designed by Miyagi Shunsaku.  The main garden Kiyora no Niwa is Saito Chuichi's creation.  All three gardens, as an ensemble are called "Tsukuha no Niwa".
