House of God
"No photos", says the sign.
Uh, what?
Snap.
This is the St. Mary's Cathedral, located in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. Despite its humble scale in comparison to the famous Gothic cathedrals, it awes its worshipers in its unique design. After all, it is the work of the renown architect, Tange Kenzo.
Kryptos
Five feet seven inches tall. A member of a carbon-based bipedal life form descended from an ape.
He believes the cosmos has grand plans for him but whatever his calling is, it has not yet been revealed to him. So in the meantime, he spends the day working as a software developer, and whatever free time that is left, reading books. He attempted reading the bible a couple of times but could not as much as finish the first chapter of Genesis. He will continue again, one day.
He loves his camera as much as he loves his books. He picked up photography when he was studying in Japan. But now that he has started working, he can no longer spend as much time for photography as he used to. He is making a small amount of side income from his hobby and hopes to spend more time shooting again.

3 persons flung their shoes:
hey, how'd you find out about this cathedral? i mean, i used to live in bunkyo-ku and was not aware of such a piece of architecture! (T.T)
well, it's located at a discreet location, quite a distance away from the station. it's no way as eye-catching as the Tokyo Tower, so it's hard to find the place unless you know where to go. nevertheless, it's one of the most famous architectures in Japan.
nice find!
