An architectural living museum in Tokyo

By Muza-chan on Sep 14, 2009 | In History | 7 feedbacks »

I wrote some time ago about the buildings covered with copper plates photographed at the Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum.

To my surprise, I’ve discovered a real-life museum on the streets of Ueno. The same shielding with copper plates, developed at the beginning of the 20th century, is still used on these picturesque buildings:
