The Face House, is an anthromorphic building designed by Japanese architect Yamashita Kazumasa in 1975, located in the city of Kyoto. On a nondescript street between ordinary buildings, it stands out for its unusual design: its windows act like eyes, and its vents and balconies resemble nostrils and ears. This quirky building not only adds some color and excitement to the residential area but also demonstrates the innovative genius of this architect. Locals have welcomed its presence with open arms, keeping alive the lively spirit of the 70s.
