A friend came and visited us here so posting has been a little sporadic as of late. We did a lot of sightseeing and filmed a few of the buildings I aim to showcase in the book project I’ve introduced on the blog before. I put some jazz music in for the mix (a Jimmy Giuffre song from 1958).

Factcheck update: Kasumigaseki Biru is 147m high and buildings were allowed a maximum height of 31m before 1963, when the Building Standard Law got a revision.
