On September 17, we held the opening reception for Rurbanism Tokyo Store.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.
It was a special evening, with so many people coming together and the space beginning to take on a life of its own within the neighborhood.
Rurbanism Tokyo Store officially opened on September 19.
We look forward to all the encounters and connections that will grow from this place.
