Style
Seiichi Shirai's style is very autonomous. His unexpected way of use of exquisite and rare (in Japan) materials (marmor, brick, nature stone) make his buildings seem to be independent of their surrounding and independent of the common Japanese architecture of this time. Nevertheless, there are European (where he studied) and Japanese influences present in his work: Particular use of European classicist furniture and facades reminding of Carlo Scarpa.
