  • Shiseido Donates Public Art Titled “Crystal of Light” to Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Ginza Station
    October, 2020 Shiseido Company, Limited Shiseido Donates Public Art Titled “Crystal of Light” to Tokyo Metro Ginza Line Ginza Station Shiseido Company, Limited (“Shiseido”) will donate public art titled “Crystal of Light” to the Tokyo Metro* Ginza Line, Ginza Station on Friday, October 16, 2020 as part of community development plans toward the beautification of the city of Ginza, which is Shiseido’s birthplace, and sharing beauty with the world through art. * Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President: Akiyoshi Yamamura, hereafter “Tokyo Metro”) About "Crystal of Light" The work, a light sculpture consisting of 636 crystal glasses with special facets, was created by world-famous artist Tokujin Yoshioka. He used a world map to program the directions of lights in the work and designed to express the world with light. Innumerable glows emitted from the crystal glasses form a huge light, which conveys a wish for peace, that “the world be united as one with all lives on earth”, and gives off a radiance for the people in the city, becoming a new symbol of Ginza Station. Tokyo Metro public art installation Tokyo Metro is promoting the installation of public artworks in sync with station construction and renewal to create comfortable, enriched cultural spaces. Works will be installed at five stations on the Ginza Line (Kyobashi Station, Ginza Station, Toranomon Station, Aoyama 1-chome Station, and Gaienmae Station) where renewal construction is carried out. Shiseido and Ginza Shiseido was founded in Ginza in 1872 as Japan's first private Western-style pharmacy. Since then, we have continued to create new value together with the city of Ginza, which has always embraced and developed newness with willing, accepting attitude.

  • Elements of the Ubranscape in Tokyo
    Teka Kom. Arch. Urb. Stud. Krajobr. – OL PAN, 2012, VIII/1, 75-92 ELEMENTS OF THE UBRANSCAPE IN TOKYO Ewa Maria Kido CTI Engineering Co., Ltd. Consulting Engineers, 2-15-1 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Tokyo Metropolis (Tōkyō-to) of 13 mln people, crowded, colored, noisy, made of very freely designed buildings, with railway loop line separating the inner center from the outer center – from one side is similar to other large metropolises in Japan, and from another – being a capitol and having the Imperial Palace as its symbolical center, is unique. This article discusses elements of urbanscape, such as transportation infrastructure – roads and railways; junctions and city centers – neighborhoods; urban interiors – streets and squares; border lines and belts – rivers, parks; do- minant urban structures, outstanding elements – landmarks, and characteristic sights, that contrib- ute to aesthetic appeal of the landscape of Tokyo. The conclusion is that although both European cities and Tokyo have well-functioning centers, as well as sub-centers of the polycentric metropo- lises, their forms are differing because they reflect local urban planning, aesthetics, and culture. Key words: urbanscape, urban planning, Tokyo, elements of urbanscape, urban landscape INTRODUCTION Urban landscape is a combination of a city’s form and contents that includes natural and built environment. As an outcome of urban and landscape design, it involves arrangement and functioning of cities, with particular focus on architec- ture, infrastructure and green zones. Design of urban space has become increas- ingly important for the long-term development and well-being of urban commu- nities, and can provide cities with a unique identity.
