Aoikan

The Aoikan (葵館) was a movie theater in the Tameike section of Akasaka in Tokyo, Japan.

It existed since the mid–1910s as a high-class foreign film theater, featuring benshi such as Musei Tokugawa.

After the 1923 earthquake, it re-opened in October 1924 with a new, modern design created by prominent avant-garde artists.

Seisaku Yoshikawa was in charge of architectural design, Yasuji Ogishima did the sculptural reliefs on the front of the building, and Tomoyoshi Murayama designed the interior.

[1][2] Murayama also did the cover illustrations for the theater's pamphlets in the first few years.
