Tim Screech, Professor of the History of Art at The School of Oiental and African Studies at the University of London, leads us on a fascinating journey into the origins of Tokyo’s cityscape, the epitome of the modern megalopolis, from its time as Edo, the samurai shogun’s stronghold. Tim colourfully details the intimate connection of the shogunate’s need to secure their power over Japan and also attend to the demands of fengshui geomancy with the seemingly unplanned, sometimes confusing nature of Tokyo as we find it today.
