Masato Yamaguchi’s presentation on website

Keyword: DOMESTIC TOKYO
Since its birth at the end of the 19th century, Tokyo has greedily absorbed the cultures of Europe, the United States and the rest of the world. Tokyo appears to have converted its inferiority complex towards the rest of the world into energy, using the dynamics of its diverse cultural mix to develop the city. I believe that this is the reason why Tokyo exists as such a unique city. In an age where information and culture can be easily mixed in an even fashion on the Internet, what is the value of Tokyo? I want to consider this theme, using the word ‘Domestic’ as a keyword.
