roland barthes, who visited japan several times in the late 1960s, describes tokyo, with the imperial palace at its heart, as not having a "filled" center where political, economic, cultural, and civic interchange converges, but a "central emptiness" un his book empire of signs.
...
it is obvious that the city does not have one great plaza or street that forms the pivot of city's communal life - there is no place that can be called the centre of the city.
...
tokyo also lacks any clear lines demarcating the boundary what is in the city and what is outside the city.
...
barthes also noted that tokyo's streets usually do not have names. |

neatceros, kad tieši iznāca leģendārais zīlītes (vai eža?) numurs, kurā bija nodrukāts vārds kakāt. vot toties japānā mākslinieks gomi tarō publicēja savu slavenāko darbu - bērnu bilžugrāmatu visi kakā 1981. gadā. kura kļuva par, nekad neiedomāsieties, bestselleru. |
