The (probably Japan's oldest) planetarium in Arakawa










This planetarium was  founded in 1964, the year of Tokyo Olympics.
It has been completely free and opened to everyone once a month.
The shadow of a row of buildings and houses in Tokyo is
cut and put all through around the sphere.
you can even see the little Skytree!
Everything is so D.I.Y. and it was not until then that I was so deeply moved by a planetarium.
that is not the most advanced technology, or showy production,
but there truly was a history and culture so local and primitive.
(and the library next to that is also amazing. !)
