Dancing Trees, Singing Birds

Its interesting how brushes with nature forms such an important facet of the human experience - to the point where man builds in a manner that logic and pragmatism would deem absurd (see picture 3). Regardless, this home in Tokyo is truly remarkable in it's ability to allow its inhabitants to live among the trees; savour the sounds and sights of nature and yet be within the convenience of a city. I suppose it's a little like living beside Central Park, or in a more local context, along Nassim Hill.

I'm just a wee bit (albeit pleasantly) surprised to see that this house was in Tokyo. I can't picture such lush vegetation in a city that cosmopolitan and developed.

Gosh I would love to live beside a park.
