One of the modern architecture in Kansai area, remaining the atomosphere of the early 20 century in Japan.
Exterior is made by the brick & concrete, which express the 2 face of this building.
The interior is just like a European traditional style, such as a stone-arch. It's quite a different face from the exterior.
One of the interesting point of the building is the controll of "light", using the windows & lightings. For example, the light from the celling reaches down to the grand-floor.
