Touch Art, Feel Art

Dominated by six-meter-high bookcases with a turret motif paying homage to Japanese architecture,EVENT SPACE holds events allowing participants to experience art and culture firsthand.
With an in-store sales floor providing a direct link to the art world, it is always possible to feel what is “now” on the global art scene.

Rediscover a Fascination for Japanese Culture

Surrounding EVENT SPACE is an area devoted to the history of culture in Japan,
with a focus on the customs and culture of the Edo era including its red light districts to new takes on the global phenomenon of Manga. A designated corner will also allow a close-up look at the extreme craftsmanship involved in making Japanese swords.

Some Coffee with your Art

The idea behind this special Starbucks in GINZA TSUTAYA BOOKS is a gathering of artists in the culture salons of days gone by. While relaxing with coffee, the spacious counter bar allows customers to immerse themselves in the pages of art magazines and auction catalogs.
