About Tokyo

Tokyo is a city where centuries-old shrines sit quietly beside neon skyscrapers, and the changing seasons are celebrated with the same devotion as the future itself. Its blend of tradition and boundless imagination speaks directly to the spirit of TOWA. TOWA Cities Tokyo by Shigeru Ito captures the essence of Tokyo's striking landmarks (Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo Tower, Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Skytree), its artistry carried across the ages (Hokusai, manga, anime), its cherished traditions kept by its people (cherry blossom hanami, tea ceremony, Kabuki, Sumo, lively matsuri festivals), and the flavors that fill its tables (ramen, sushi, sake). Let the artist's imaginative eye reveal a Tokyo brimming with hidden wonder, and add your own chapter to its ever-evolving story. Enjoy!
