On a cool March evening, with the moonlight to guide us in<br />

our hike around the Imperial Palace, the Lighting Detectives<br />

went in search of any deep and dark shadows remaining<br />

in the middle of Tokyo. By contrast, July and November<br />

walking tours took the group to light-filled Ginza and<br />

Akihabara. Ginza, living proof of the importance recently<br />

placed on the lighting environment in modern Japan,<br />

provided many points for observation and study. While,<br />

Akihabara, a conglomeration of light, façade lighting, and<br />

overzealous neon signage, the changes in light are most<br />

striking en route to the famous Electric Town from the new<br />

Tsukuba Express Station and Cross Fields Complex.<br />

Imperial Palace May. 25<br />

Ginza Jul. 12<br />

Akihabara Nov. 9<br />
