Perspective (Kenzo Tange)

Message cards from illustrator Makiko Minowa's "Perspective" series, featuring buildings by master architects of modern architecture. This one depicts Kenzo Tange's "Yoyogi National Gymnasium," a masterpiece of modern Japanese architecture built for the Tokyo Olympics (1964), symbolizing post-war reconstruction and the period of rapid economic growth. Its distinctive form is rendered in a friendly style by Minowa.
