Wed, 3 Sep '08 - A nation of obsessives and of extremes.

The saturation of advertising in Tokyo. The creation of 1000 kanon at Sanjungsendo. The high density of technology retail outlets in Akihabara.

Ordered chaos. Efficient complexity is actually micro efficiency on a vast and interconnected scale.

Tokyo seems like a frantic, multi layered, chaotic place, but within this chaos everything is running to a system, usually perfectly on time. Just like the Mazda factory the more you look the more you realise how minutely choreographed the underling infrastructure actually is.
