Miu Miu opens one-night jazz club in Tokyo to mark Ginza store reopening

On 13 May 2026, Italian fashion house Miu Miu celebrated the reopening of its Ginza store by hosting a one-night-only jazz club in Tokyo. The event took place at Dance Hall Shinseiki, a historic venue near Ueno that opened in 1948 and is now the only remaining dance hall in Japan. Performances featured young trumpeter Reiya Terakubo and Grammy Award-winning pianist Hiromi Uehara, who at age 17 was invited on stage by Chick Corea. The venue's original interior from 80 years ago, with velvet stage curtains and damask wall coverings, provided a nostalgic backdrop. The reopening also introduced Miu Miu's first VIP salon in Japan, reflecting the brand's philosophy of intimate hospitality. This event follows Miu Miu's tradition of engaging with local culture, such as the Literary Club during Milan Design Week and the reopening of its London store at Koko in late 2025. Jazz has been part of Japanese culture since the 1920s, brought by travelers returning from the United States, and gave rise to unique listening cafés known as 'jazz kissa'.
