'I believe the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building exists as a symbol of the SF-like futuristic feel that is one of the charms of Shinjuku. In addition, I wanted to incorporate a Japanese sensibility, so I have designed rays of light as rain, inspired by the representation of rain depicted by the ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige.'
