A calm residence.


    Asakurake-Jutaku, a mansion built in 1919 by Taijiro Asakura, 
    is located literally in middle of Daikanyama.
    Every time I visit the town, 
it always makes me a bit tired, of its stylishness and hipness, 
changing always up-to-date, for staying the coolest. 
    but thinking of the fact 
that this residence has been here so quietly since 1919,
    I speculate about the time, and what this architecture has seen 
and experienced for more than 100 years, 
    it brings my heart the comfort and tranquility in the busiest Tokyo.
