HIGASHIYA

Book written by OGATA Shinichiro.

Japanese patisserie was born out of the richness of the Japanese spirit, which seeks to take pleasure in the changes of nature and the seasons.
In this book, which is based on Ogata's philosophy of expressing Japan from different points of view such as pastry, tableware and space, the HIGASHIYA pastry shop, which opened in 2003, reveals all the meanings of its existence.

How is contemporary Japanese culture constructed, and how will traditions be passed on to future generations? This book helps us to redefine Japanese identity.

Available in Japanese and English.
