The Emperor's Castle Designer: Thomas Hillier
Location: n/a
Image Credits: Thomas Hillier The Emperor’s Castle originates from a mythical and ancient tale hidden within a woodblock landscape scene created by Japanese Ukiyo-e printmaker, Ando Hiroshige. This tale charts the story of two star-crossed lovers, the weaving Princess and the Cowherd, who have been separated by the Princess’s father, the Emperor. These characters have been replaced by architectonic metaphors creating an urban theatre within the grounds of the Imperial Palace in central Tokyo. → bldgblog.blogspot.com Posted: 10/19/2009 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
