The Haruki Murakami Library(1)

Tokyo Waseda 📖 Murakami Haruki Library Designed by Kengo Kuma 🌟 The No. 4 building within the Waseda University campus in Tokyo has been transformed into the Murakami Haruki Library by the design of Kengo Kuma. ✨ Murakami Haruki once expressed that he hopes this library will be used for international literary and cultural exchanges, a space like a study, displaying the books and records he has collected. Kengo Kuma's understanding of Murakami Haruki is that his literary world is like a tunnel. ✨ The entire library is a "wooden tunnel" that runs through the original building. The wooden tunnel traverses time and space, a translation of the "tunnel" imagery in Murakami's novels, connecting different dimensions within the architectural space. #Tokyo 🌆✨
