A comprehensive cultural facility born in Nishijin [Horikawa New Culture Building]

November 20, 2021 open

［The Horikawa Shin Bunka Building is a complex facility produced by Ogaki Shoten. The aim is to create a "cultural platform" where anyone can casually come into contact with arts and crafts in Nishijin, where traditional craftsmanship has long been practiced. The director, Mr. Sei Wanaka, says, "I hope people will feel free to come and visit us as if they were in a bookstore.
