On November 30th (Sat), we will open WMV VISVIM KOBE in the Chartered Building, a historic architectural site that stands along the Kaigandori street in Kobe. The building was constructed in 1938 and was built to be the Kobe branch of the British financial institution, Chartered Bank. It is one of the modern buildings that symbolize the foreign settlement area in Kobe.

VISVIM GENERAL STORE / VISVIM GALLERY

2022.10.25

VISVIM GENERAL STORE / VISVIM GALLERY, visvim's newest store which opened in the Naka-Meguro area of Tokyo, in July 2022, is filled with the work of various artisans who have dedicated their lives to their craft-beginning with the Japanese garden, the tin pedestals and countertop, along with the stencil-dyed (katazurizome) fusuma sliding screens. A follow up to his work at WMV VISVIM TOKYO, Hiroki Nakamura was responsible for the design direction of the new store. We hope you'll come visit the store to witness and experience the incredible handiwork of these master craftspeople to better understand its profound charm, which is something that is in alignment with the philosophy towards product creation that we try and uphold at visvim.
