The serene elegance emanating from the celestial maiden statue standing in the central hall of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store
The celestial maiden statue standing in the central hall of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store symbolizes department store architecture. Its figure floating quietly in the atrium space changes expression depending on the time of day and the angle of the light, and when photographed, its dignified elegance stands out. Relying not on flashy displays but on sculptural beauty and the empty space around it, it's perfect for those who want to capture a serene image. Even during seasonal decorations, it remains a standout focal point, a classic spot that embodies the dignified atmosphere characteristic of Nihonbashi.
Key points for photography
The key to photographing this statue lies in how drastically the impression changes by altering your position—whether looking up from below or capturing it from the side. Viewing it from below emphasizes the height of the atrium space and the sacredness of the celestial maiden statue, while shooting from the side highlights the beauty of its form and elegant lines. The stable indoor lighting makes it easy to focus on composition, and the charm lies in being able to draw out various expressions by changing angles.
