		<description><![CDATA[Without &#8220;Akira&#8221; there would be no &#8220;Cool Japan.&#8221; There&#8217;s no denying that for many non-Japanese back in early 1990s. The anime adaptation of the manga &#8220;Akira&#8221; was for them the first taste of a drug that ultimately drove the addicted to seek more highs like it, and it caused a pandemic of interest in Japanese [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Until the 1950s, the Ochiai and Nakai areas in Tokyo&#8217;s Shinjuku Ward were home to more than 300 small cloth-dyeing factories that would wash their vibrant kimono fabrics in the clear, clean water of the Kanda and Myoshoji rivers &#8212; it must have been a colorful sight. Several small dyeing ateliers remain in the area, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s one of the most enigmatic questions of all time: What is art? Any gallery that holds an exhibition using that as its theme is either taking things very seriously indeed, or it&#8217;s having a laugh. &#8220;AIDA Makoto: Be it Art or not Art,&#8221; at the Tokyo Wonder Site, Hongo, definitely leans toward the latter.

		<description><![CDATA[On entering the minimalist five-story cube opposite the Yokohama Cosmoworld ferris wheel in Minato Mirai, it&#8217;s hard to believe that the huge white-walled atrium, with its monumental wooden staircase and beech floors, is not the entrance to a modern-art museum. The blurb in the museum&#8217;s guide, too, seems at odds with what visitors may be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1971, when artist Kenji Yanobe was a child, he often played in the abandoned site of Expo &#8217;70, not far from his family home in Osaka. A year before, under the theme of &#8220;Progress and Harmony for Mankind,&#8221; Japan&#8217;s World Exposition had showcased a vision of the future that included an array of advanced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, Daikanyama was one of those places you could visit for a bit of peace and quiet in Tokyo. It had beautiful tree-lined streets and lovely old traditional Japanese houses. There was also a slightly bohemian edge to it, with small independent shops and galleries littered among the back alleys. These days it&#8217;s just [...]]]></description>
