Cocoon Tower in Tokyo

It's a school for fashion and design. The building is one of the coolest I have ever seen.

In Japon

 I bought some snacks here.

 A view from Taikanso, where a renowned artist, Yokoyama Taikan, used to stay.

 A quiet temple. I actually painted inside the property:)

Nishi-Honoji. A big temple.

 Togetsukyo. A famous bridge in Kyoto.

Bamboo walkway. I imagine China will look like this, and there will be Panda in between bamboos.

San Gabriel City Hall

I was interested in the architecture as much as the vertical composition. I was going for the rhythm that spirals up. I like how the stairs go up through the arched hallway.
