“Essentially, Japanese culture does
not distinguish the original from the
copy. We see the most typical exam

The newly built shrine is always the
original, which hands over its life as
the original to the new one as soon as

minds today.”

“In the international wave of postwar
hyper-engineering -reversing rivers,
space travel and supersonic flight- the
inhabitation of Tokyo Bay seems
plausible. What was previously
thought of as an intractable geograph
-
ical limitation suddenly transforms in
the imagination into a new zone for
free growth, facilitated by high-tech
engineering. [...] Tokyo Bay thus
becomes a laboratory for artificial
ground, which evolves into a core
Metabolist concept, equally important
as the capsule, though historically
overlooked.”
