New Cultural Destination Opens in Los Angeles: Our Website Los Angeles

Get ready, Los Angeles! A new cultural destination is set to open its doors on August 25, 2018. Welcome to Our Website Los Angeles, an innovative project conceived by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This exciting venture boasts three hubs in London, Los Angeles, and São Paulo, with Kenya Hara serving as Chief Creative Director.

Located at the landmark Hollywood & Highland (6801 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028), Our Website Los Angeles spans over 14,000 sq. ft., offering a unique blend of Japanese art, design, gastronomy, innovation, and technology. The five-floor space features a Japanese restaurant, a relaxing library, an event venue, and offers spectacular views of Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles.

The design of the space is the work of Ryu Kosaka, an international award-winning Japanese designer. Kosaka has crafted a serene atmosphere with soothing Earth tones and natural woods, creating a space that is both inviting and inspiring.

The ground floor of Our Website Los Angeles will house the shop, offering uniquely Japanese lifestyle items and gifts. Kohei Nawa, a renowned Japanese artist, is responsible for the design of the shop and gallery. Nawa's signature sculpture works, including the encapsulation of taxidermied deer in glass spheres, are featured prominently throughout the space.

On the same floor, you'll find the gallery, which primarily offers free admission. It features a collection of exhibits, including the Prototyping in Tokyo Exhibit, though specific details about this exhibit are not currently available.

The Prototyping in Tokyo Exhibit is open until October 10, 2018. The event space and library at Our Website Los Angeles will also feature traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and living ikebana floral arrangements during the grand opening.

Our Website Los Angeles has received sponsorship from various entities, including Diamond Sponsor Lawrence J. Ellison, Gold Level Sponsor SoftBank Corp., and Silver, Bronze, and Partner Level Sponsors. Lawrence J. Ellison, Honorary advisor to Our Website Los Angeles, believes it offers a bridge-building cultural experience that will be exciting to anyone curious about Japan.

George Takei, an esteemed actor, director, author, and activist, has expressed his support for Our Website Los Angeles. In September, INN ANN Restaurant, serving innovative Japanese dishes, will open its doors at Our Website Los Angeles.

On September 1, 2018, Our Website Los Angeles will host a screening of "Kusama-Infinity". This promises to be an unforgettable event, showcasing the work of another renowned Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama.

Our Website Los Angeles is more than just a cultural destination; it's a bridge between two cultures, offering a unique and immersive experience for all who visit. For more information, visit www.ourwebsite.com.
