A City Where the Past and Future Meet: Tokyo

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ②] A City Where the Past and Future Meet: Tokyo   2025.02.17       Korea and Japan are countries that are both close and far away at the same time. They are located in East Asia and have similar climates, four seasons, and no time difference. Even the cityscapes look similar at first glance. Seoul and Tokyo both feature a mix of skyscrapers and traditional architecture. However, if you look a little deeper, you start to see the subtle differences between them. Whereas tradition and modernity blend together naturally in Korea, the two seem to be more starkly separated in Japan. For example, Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul seems to blend into the modern cafes and shops surrounding it, but in Tokyo’s Asakusa neighborhood, the shrines and temples are quiet reminders of a time gone by.When you first step foot in Tokyo, you feel like you have just walked into a giant puzzle.

They wanted to meet me at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I was going to be there, so we agreed to meet on October 19.

One-Liner Quotes   Records That Reflect Us Urban Branding Expert’s Pick: Korean Books   2024.10.07   Mok Ji-Su is an urban branding director who works on local stories and content. He is currently publishing the monthly magazine Magazine Bathhouse (Site Branding) that features the stories of public bathhouses in neighborhoods.   As an urban branding director, I look at every corner of our cities, and I always realize that there are people’s stories at the end of it all. Thinking that the memory of a city is the memory of a human being, I have gotten into the habit of looking into the time, people, and spaces of a city before I go about urban branding. The records of people’s lives and spaces are a good reference, and reading them gives me an apportunity to reflect on myself.     Jeon Mong-Gag’s photobook Yunmi’s Album: From the Cradle to the Wedding (Photo Net) is a record of his daughter Yunmi ...

Knowledge   Celebrating 20 Years of Jecheon Miracle Library,a True Gift to Korea   2024.06.03   In Korea, there is a “Miracle Library,” which is the one and only in the world   In the early 2000s, children were particularly marginalized in Korea, especially in terms of library services.

In other words, the project was born out of the recognition of the need for libraries dedicated to children as the best possible environment for their creative growth by ensuring their right to grow up freely and broadening the equality of opportunity.The Miracle Library Project, a nationwide initiative to build libraries exclusively for children, was a collaborative effort of citizen...
