Old and New Architecture in Tokyo - Photo 5

This is an old building that I like very much, on Asakusa Dori. I passed by it on every trip I made to Tokyo…

… and when I returned home I discovered that I never took a picture with it. I always delayed, whether because I didn’t like the light, or the street was too crowded… or I was simply too tired.

Until the last year… when I decided to take the picture the first time I passed by. :)

This small house, surviving between the two 13-storied apartment buildings, is probably the most striking example of the blending between old and new architecture that can be seen in Tokyo.
