Past looks at Future, is an art cover inspired by the city of Tokyo, focusing on its balance between

tradition and innovation.

 

A Geisha composes the new Tokyo as in an architectural model, by adding elements that are part of the modern city. The illustration pictures two souls coexisting in harmony: one is rooted in Japanese heritage and culture represented by the geisha, temples and artisan shops, on the other side there is the futuristic soul projected towards technological innovation and represented by the Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, the Shibuya metro station and the 7 eleven convenience store, symbols of contemporary society. The writing “Harajuku station”represents the fashion and innovation district, which is why it fits perfectly into this mix of tradition and cultural innovation.

 

Tokyo is, therefore, a city that not only looks forward, but also keeps its ties with the past close, representing the perfect example of how the two souls, tradition and innovation, can not only coexist, but nourish each other.
