Ryu Kosaka is a graduate of the Musashino Art University’s architecture department. He joined Nomura Co., Ltd in 1986 and is currently the executive creative director of the Commerical Facilities Division and the head of A.N.D. Aoyama Nomura Design. JAPAN HOUSE seeks to foster awareness and appreciation for Japan around the world by showcasing the emerging art of the very best of Japanese art, design, gastronomy, innovation, technology, and more. An innovative project of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, JAPAN HOUSE is comprised of three hubs—London, Los Angeles and Sao Paulo. In 1958, it was donated to Philadelphia where it has stood as a cultural center, museum and beautiful destination ever since. The restaurant’s interior didn’t need a lot of adjustment, with its gray colors and natural tones already designed for a sleek, minimalist look.

Mitsue and Kato will weave between sashimi, prepared dishes, traditional Japanese dishes, and a finale of Western-style tweezer-type desserts that one would expect at two or three Michelin-star establishments in Tokyo or Kyoto. Both Mitsue and Kato come with extensive fine dining backgrounds in Japan and France and were most recently the private chefs for the Japanese ambassador to the U.N. The Inujima “Art House Project” creates a unique symbiosis between art, architecture, community and ecology that has been transforming the landscape of the Japanese island of Inujima.

"The setting, the architecture, it's all there to convey a sense of feeling," Polyakov says. "The idea of peace and emptiness and quiet beauty were very important in 16th-century Japan. These traditions have carried on for hundreds of years, including today." “The experience is intended to be as you’re walking outside in the countryside in Japan, you walk out the door, and you have this long passage and the first thing that you see is the façade with charred wood, which is very common in Japan,” says Osegueda. When JAPAN HOUSE decided to open a third location — only the third in the world — they really wanted it to be unique.
