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 />
