The great painters

One of my favourites in Shibuya is wall painting ad.
It has never been changed for decades. Though technology goes very far away, this wall is still painted by hand. Their craftsmanship are so amazing giving the touch that none of the printer be able to do.

tokyo midtown 1

The other day I went to Tokyo Midtown few days after the grand opening. At first I did not expect much. According to website before opening, it seems like other mega projects. However, I felt like the aesthetic atmosphere at Tokyo Midtown very much.
