Tokyu Department Store Kichijoji Store 50th Anniversary “Let’s make it together! Diorama event of Kichijoji in 1974”
From October 1st (Tuesday) to October 30th (Wednesday), Tokyu Department Store Kichijoji Store (hereinafter referred to as our store) will be holding a “Let’s make it together! Diorama event of Kichijoji in 1978” to commemorate its 50th anniversary. ”
(hereinafter referred to as “this event”).
In order to express our gratitude to the people of the city and the region who have nurtured our store, we would like to create an opportunity to reminisce about Kichijoji in the past and rediscover the charm of Kichijoji with the local people. We planned an event. In this event, we will recreate the nostalgic streets of Kichijoji with a 1/220 scale diorama in collaboration with student volunteers and other local residents. We will create a diorama by reusing waste, using our business waste and felled trees (street trees) from Musashino City. The exhibition event “Kichijoji Streetscape 50 Years Ago” will feature a special display of dioramas created with local residents, as well as panels of photos and events from the time.
There will also be a workshop using household waste (plastic bottle caps) and a talk show by a university associate professor who is familiar with Kichijoji.
Our store has spent 50 years together with the city of Kichijoji. Through this event, we hope to reminisce about the Kichijoji of the past together with the local community, create new encounters and connections, and take a step towards the Kichijoji of the future. We will continue to communicate the appeal of new department stores with the aim of linking the progress we have made together with the city of Kichijoji to further evolution.
