By our friend Takashi Yanai, a partner at EYRC Architects where he designs houses in the California Modern tradition that incorporate influences from Japan. He is also a former design journalist and shares time between Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo:

During COVID I’ve canceled two visits to Tokyo now and counting… Tokyo always inspires and energizes but for me also affords an opportunity to slow down and reflect… this playlist is an eclectic set of personal meditations on Tokyo with some contributions by friends who share that city as a place of intersection… hopefully it can transport some of you who are missing Tokyo too…
