Japanese Narrow Buildings - Photo 12

Mon, April 19, 2010, by Muza-chan

This is an interesting group of four buildings, three of them quite narrow, located on Asakusa Dori, close to the Ueno Station.

This group draw my eye (and camera) with its variety of architectural styles…
The building on the left, quite old, is covered in copper plates, which was one of the old methods of protection against fire…

… the next building, the tallest and at the same time the narrowest, is a relatively modern building…

… and likewise the third building, the smallest of them, covered in bright-colored banners.

Finally, the building on the right side, with a small restaurant at the first floor, is again an interesting older building, based on a specific Japanese architecture.

Iată un grup de patru clădiri, dintre care trei înguste, de pe Asakusa-dori, situate foarte aproape de staţia Ueno.

Narrow Building

Grupul mi-a atras atenţia în primul rând datorită combinaţiei de stiluri.
Clădirea din stânga, foarte veche, acoperită cu plăcuţe de cupru (aşa cum am mai spus într-un articol mai demult, una din metodele folosite la începutul secolului trecut pentru protecţie contra incendiilor)…

… următoarea, cea mai îngustă şi în acelaşi timp şi cea mai înaltă este o clădire relativ modernă…

Narrow Building

… la fel şi cea mică, acoperită cu reclame viu colorate.

Iar în partea dreaptă, din nou o clădire foarte veche, cu arhitectură specific japoneză, în care se află un mic restaurant.
