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.[3]
