In
1929 Shiseido completed the construction of two buildings replacing
those destroyed in the earthquake six years earlier. Designed by
architect Kenjiro Maeda, the Shiseido Parlour’s third floor featured
an expanded art gallery, which Fukuhara had first established in 1919 to
show the work of emerging artists. Across the street, the Shiseido
Cosmetics Department building housed a beauty salon and sold accessories
in addition to cosmetics. Newer versions of the Shiseido store—now
called "The Ginza"—and Parlour still exist in the same
locations.
