"Okuno Building Details" - August 2010

The experience of going into a building designed and made in a different era is a welcome change from modern sealed boxes.
Manually operated inner elevator... not door really, but gate.
Wooden handrails that have been used by generations of people.
Attention to detail - even in ceiling corners.
