Tokyo's chic shopping street par excellence has a cutting edge: to exist here, retailers have not only to propose innovative, quality items, but also showcase them in a unique setting. The result is Omotesando, lined with superb boutiques housed in show-stopping buildings. The first of these architectural innovations was the Hanae Mori Building, inaugurated in 1978. In this mecca of consumerism, the Memorial Museum of Art looks to the past by honouring the masters of woodblock printing.
