Seeing Red

It seems some people in Tokyo are not at all happy with the Italian Cultural Institute. They are complaining that the building is, well, red. The Italians are defending the building saying it was designed with a Japanese company and is inspired by the Japanese tradition of lacquer.

The only photo I could find is the tiny thumbnail on the Cultural Institute’s website. It is a very, very red building indeed. Twelve stories tall, too.

I suppose they can always lacquer it…….
