Amazing cultural architects

Went to check out one of the possible venue of the event project that we are currently working on.

Absolutely brilliant! It is called "Kyu Iwasaki-tei" (Ex Manor of the Iwasaki) in Ueno.

The building was owned by the Iwasaki, the family who were the origin of Mitsubishi conglomerate, build in the late 18th century. The architects consist of a traditional Japanese house and a Victorian style British manor house, done by a British architect, Josiah Conder.

Around this era, late 18th ~ early 19th century in Japan, the combination of the two diversed cultures were nicely mixed with many respects to each other.

Now in the 21st century. Are we finding the right mix? I think it's still work-in-progress and that something we'll help to accelerate.
