Tokyo Sky Tree is a tower that when finished in 2012 will be the second tallest artificial structure in the world after the Burj Dubai. It has barely surpassed half of its planned final height of 634 meters but it is already the highest structure in Japan, surpassing the Tokyo Tower. These are some photos that I took last week from Asakusa that show the current state of the construction.
This robot is amazing! It is, among other things, capable of maintaining its balance on a ball. It has been created by a professor and a student at the university Tohoku Gakuin.

At the end of last year, Miguel Diez, one of my favorite photographers, came to Tokyo for some months. His main objective was to take photos for a couple of projects that he had had in mind for a long time. As an extra he recorded some video around Tokyo and this is the final result; you can enjoy it better in full screen!
