House of Culture of Japan in Paris

Passy

Paris's window into Japanese culture sits right on the Seine. Since 1997, this riverside center has hosted rotating exhibitions on everything from Studio Ghibli to sumo photography, plus film screenings, tea ceremonies, calligraphy workshops, and a 500m² library stocked with Japanese books. The building itself, designed by architect Kenzo Tange, blends modern lines with traditional Japanese aesthetics.
