Anusarn Building is a historic structure that has stood alongside the history of the Sanpakoi area for a long time. It was designed by Luang Anusarn Suntorn (the progenitor of the Chutima-Nimmanhaemindda family), a prominent Chiang Mai businessman who advanced trade and modernized the city at that time. The building is a two-story reinforced concrete structure mixed with ancient wood, completed in 1934 by local craftsmen. The building features a soft white color in colonial style, influenced by Western architecture. It is located in an area named Sanpakoi, filled with Khoi trees, which is the origin of the area's name. The property stretches across several units along Charoen Muang Road, a significant route connecting the eastern side of the Ping River via the Nawarat Bridge directly to Thapae Road, leading into the city center. This area is thus renowned as another important commercial district that has grown alongside the people of Chiang Mai.

The event featured hands-on experiences like origami, furoshiki wrapping, and kendama, allowing everyone to connect deeply with Japanese traditions.
