Myonichikan means "House of Tomorrow" and was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright when he was in Japan to design the Tokyo Hotel. It was bulit in 1921. A while ago my friend Damon invited me to a nihonshu (sake) tasting at the school, which is now a community center of sorts. The picture above is the facade of the main building, which is where the event was that I went to. It is a really beautiful old building with many impresssive details like the wood molding of the windows and the original chairs. It's in Ikebukuro near the West Exit, so when I went to have lunch with my friends Evan and Nori there we stopped by after lunch this weekend. The picture below is of the auditorium across the street, both spaces were being used-there was a wedding, a concert, and a community center class going on at the same time in various spaces.
