There was some beutiful "street lights" along the way.

 

A door at the shrine on a beautiful day!



They were collecting old toys. Instead of throwing away the old dolls, little children give them to a shrine where they will be crimated and the soal whill be released.



The dolls were placed on tables along the shrine walls.



There was a traditional japanese wedding going on that day. Unfortunally you could not see the actual ceremonie, but afterwards the couple and wedding party walked through the shrine.






A place that Anna really wanted to see was the Dior-building. And here it is. In the night time it glows.

This is very special. It is a shopping mall that is relativily new. The architect wou drawd it wanted to preserv the old original houses on the streat. It uset to be a old and worned down neighbourhood. So the browne house on the right tide is a shell of a old house. Inside it is connected to the glass building to the left.

This architect was inspired by a shaddow casted by a tree on a wall.

Same building as on the picture above.

Prada-shop. The entrence is the big square on the bottom.

It was compleatly transparent with flat, convex and concurve glass bricks.
