The rooftop of Ginza Maison Hermès holds a delightful secret. Away from the city’s passing gaze is a small garden where a single Japanese maple tree was planted when the building was completed 23 years ago. Thriving quietly since Maison Hermès opened, this tree has grown and matured just like the building, the people who have spent time nearby, and the essence of the city itself. For us at Hermès, the maple tree embodies the spirit that resides in the Maison, as rich and colorful as the citrus and other fruit born by the nearby trees.
