Simulated office building

Not much to say about this one — I just liked the geometry. The light was also of a sort that made the building appear to be computer-generated, an idea of faded ’70s business glamour rendered through modern means.

I just wanted to say hello. I lived in Japan for 10 years, but now live in the States…where I was reminiscing about the song I’d heard in my neighborhood from the sweet potato man.
I happened upon your site after Googling “yaki imo~”! Your site is very impressive, especially your colophon, which, I agree, there aren’t enough of these days :) I’m sure I’ll write now and again in appreciation of your blogs!! And this building reminds me of a hospital near Chinatown in Yokohama ;) Odaiji ni ne! TD yori

Oh, wow… That really does look computer-generated! I’ve seen a few photos with that effect, and it’s always so surreal!

Hi Jeremy,
please could you tell me the location of that building? Thanks.

The building is on Naka-dori opposite the Marunouchi Building (on the west side). I’m almost certain it’s the building that has the Tomorrowland clothing store on the ground floor.
Looking at the picture, Naka-dori runs to the right. If you walked off to the left, you’d come to Tokyo Station.
Does this make sense?
