Shinagawa Baptist Church | Kokosil Shinagawa

The church was designed by architect Tadashi Yoshihara, who also designed the Oi Baptist Church and Akebono Kindergarten.

This church was designed by Taro Amano Laboratory (Taro Amano, Tadashi Yoshihara). Taro Amano is studying under Frank Lloyd Wright, an American architect representing the 20th century. The influence of Northern Europe is also felt in the method of taking in soft natural light by the curved surface with rounded corners. At the time of completion, it was characterized by a deep and deep wall on the second floor, but now it has been expanded and does not retain its original shape. Some of the geometric designs and random grids found in the room are similar to the Arashiyama Country Club that was completed two years ago.

* Taro Amano = Born in 1918 and died in 1990. Studied with American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and taught at Kogakuin University and Tokyo University of the Arts. Representative works include Arashiyama Country Club (1961), Tokyo University of the Arts Library and Art Museum (1964), Painting Building (1968), Sculpture Building (1971).
