Thank you for this. I really appreciate this response and was the kind of thoughtful and serious intellectual response I was looking for. Most of the other arguments were to the tune of 'the fact that you took a picture indicates it's interesting. You tell us' without addressing the question. I quit FANG, turned down hedge fund offers, and moved Japan for very different reasons than most people, so my personal answer isn't that informative here. Architecturally, there are much more interesting buildings, so that's not the complete answer here. A good example of the phenomenon I'm addressing is reflected by the show Billions. Arguably, Tech and finance arguably have more in common than other with any other professions. In Billions, there were more subtle elements of Japanese admiration, but in a more studied and sophisticated way, especially by the character Wags.
