British Antique Museum BAM Kamakura opened in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 2022. Located along Wakamiya Ōji on the approach to Tsurugaoka Hachimangū, the museum building along with its fourth-floor tea room was designed by Kengo Kuma, with a windowless façade inspired by the local craft of Kamakura-bori woodcarving, executed in Japanese cypress with a CNC cutter, with incisions that gradually reduce in scale for perspective effect and to blend with the sky.
