Gianni - some sent this to me and it is superb, happy to dig through your archive.

One element of Tokyo architecture I find fascinating is the mix of serene (that traditional aesthetic) and visual pollution (signs and neons and all manner of stuff). It is unique in blending those elements on a massive scale.

Nice article. Thorough research. Having moved out of Tokyo to seaside area, I still often come to Tokyo as a “tourist” and enjoy it.
