Last week we took a trip to The National Arts Centre of Tokyo in Roppongi to catch an exhibition about shadows. The exhibition was a good insight into the way artists interpret shadows, the roles they play and the type of expressions they have inspired. However, what really captured my imagination was the space within the Arts Centre. The architecture, designed by Kisho Kurokawa, was really impressive. The interior of building had a haunting, industrial feel about it contrast against an undualating, organic facade. We caught it at just the right time of the day, when the sun was beginning to lower in the sky, creating great long shadows. I particularly like the choice of seating too! My favourite is the Three-legged Shell Chair by Hans.J Wegner.
