The Imperial Palace, Yasukuni Shrine, Meiji Jingu Shrine, former military sites, GHQ... Knowing the history reveals the truth of this city. With the keyword "Tokyo, the City Where the Emperor Resides," this book, by a highly knowledgeable urban planner and conservative commentator, explores the religious spaces scattered throughout Tokyo, the unique functions brought about by their arrangement, and how the city's "origins" as wartime military land and the site of GHQ have influenced its present form. The author discusses these topics freely and comprehensively. Publisher: Fusosha (April 30, 2020) Status
