ラクエ四条烏丸Formerly a bank branch, the northwest corner of Shijo-Karasuma in downtown Kyoto was reborn as Laque.
Laque is a high-end urban mall.
Like department stores, there is eating in the basement.
The origin of the name comes from sources in both Japanese and French.
In Japanese, raku（洛）means "capital," which Kyoto was for more than a thousand years. The kanji is used to indicate geography today: for example, "rakunan" would be south Kyoto, "rakusei" west Kyoto, and so on.
In French, "laque" is lacquer, which of course is one Japan's best known traditional industries.
