Graceful and Fashionable: The Franz Ebisu Mitsukoshi Store Presents a Unique Style

The Ebisu Mitsukoshi department store is a Baroque structure at the Yebisu Garden Place, one of Ebisu’s main tourist attractions.

Hailed as one of the most graceful department stores in Japan, the Ebisu Mitsukoshi store emanates a romantic aura, featuring an elegant and delicate greenish-blue color scheme and showcasing Franz’s porcelain pieces and the items from Jean Boggio for FRANZ, the company’s other Luxury brand.

Once entering the store, you will be under the impression that you are in an attractive garden full of energy, totally immersed in a striking atmosphere created through the mixture of Eastern and Western aesthetics and exposed to the stylish and graceful quality of the showcased pieces.

Franz Chen, CEO of Franz Collection Inc., said that the opening of the Franz Ebisu Mitsukoshi store means a lot to the company in that the store is the company’s first Flagship store in Japan, making it the third country where the company has retail operations.

Japanese people as we know it have fine taste, which is in line with the company’s brand concept of ‘bringing art into everyday life’ and ‘enriching life with art’.

Through the efforts of Franz Collection Inc., the Japanese will surely appreciate the eastern philosophy of ‘respecting nature and cherishing all resources’ as well as the everlasting friendships among people.
