Description:
Due to overwhelming popularity, this expanded and revised edition features additional coverage of Tokyo's modern architecture! Discover 48 must-see masterpieces of Tokyo architecture that embody authentic modernism. From the original tower mansion and cutting-edge Showa-era one-room apartments to spacecraft-like circular windows and buildings adorned with masterful tilework—structures that retain the rich scent of the Showa period.
