SONY TOWER, OSAKA.  Osaka, Japan.

Designed by famed Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa, this building is an 
example of the high-tech, modern architecure popular in Japan.  Built in 
1975, it is located in the Shinsaibashi district, Osaka's busiest 
commercial and entertainment center, and houses retail show rooms of Sony's
electronics products.  An interesting feature is that the building's 
bathrooms are designed as stainless-steel "capsules" which cling onto 
the exterior of the building.  The neighboring building at the rear was 
included in order to fill up the tile (there really should be more space 
between the two buildings).
