The head office of GUNZE Raw Silk Mfg. Co., Ltd. was built in 1933. It was designed by the engineers of the company’s construction section. The features of the construction and the design were as follows:
The building had the appearance of RC due to the use of wooden lattice pillars. They were used for the entrance and large spans in the hall.
