Buildings associated with Zen and the site
Traffic noises and the site
Flat roof (light gray) vs. Traditional roof (dark gray)The most important aspect of this site is the mixture of Western influence on architecture and the resistance or artifact of traditional Japanese culture. On the top, I indicated not just the old buildings, but the buildings that are associated with the traditional Japanese culture, Zen. Those are temples, shrines, Museums of Calligraphy, old comedy house, and a home of a Japanese poet.
The second diagram is showing the traffic noise. This falls under the "new" category. The darker the color is the noisier the streets are. The medium shaded lines are the train lines. The site is surrounded by major traffic noises. This is very common in Japanese urban setting.
The third diagram is to show the flat roofs and slanted, traditional roof around the site. This indicates the purpose of the each building. The buildings with flat roof is the result of Western influence and the buildings with slanted roof are either old or the resistance of the Western influence.
