The old Asakusa district of Tokyo, with its traditional restaurants, old-style buildings, bicycles and rickshaws, harmoniously contrasts with the ultra-modern Tokyo Sky Tree…

In fact, the tower’s architects say that it was especially designed to be a fusion between traditional Japanese beauty and neo futuristic design. And even the tower’s color is a traditional Japanese shade called aijiro, originating from the old indigo dyers.
