Japanese architecture astonishes me. I'd always thought of Japan as this futuristic land where everything is neat and orderly and there would be no chaotic or rundown jumbled stuff lying around. Holy moly was that impression wrong! This is the land of living junk, where buildings aren't maintained because they are torn down when they hit thirty years of age regardless of their condition. And then there's the dodgy wiring and profligate use of short lengths of tubing. I love it.
