The tallest tower in Japan is the 634-meter Tokyo Sky Tree. Many aerial shots have been taken to express its height, but I went the other way and aimed straight up, shooting in a flat plane as if it were a terrestrial painting. t was a cold winter night in Tokyo with clear air. Peering down from thousands of feet directly above, the observatory and the tip of the Tokyo Sky Tree looked like a halo of light, and the lights on the ground looked like blood vessels.
