Their presidential suite, you see, has deliberately been kept as it has always been for the past 30 years or so, because it was designed by one of the top designers of that time.
And all around this presidential suite are artworks and objects created by some of Japan’s foremost artists and creatives.

In the private living room of the suite, which is actually called the Imperial Suite, is a lithograph by Japanese master artist Toko Shinoda.
I have a Toko Shinoda artwork in the foyer of my Tokyo home as well, so it was a familiar piece to me.
There was also a very intriguing wooden tabletop sculpture on a sideboard in the public living room. Apparently, this was created by the same artist who designed the famous Tokyo Sky Tree.
Beside it was a lamp designed by the famous sculptor Isamu Noguchi — and again, this was also a recognisable piece for me because I really like Noguchi’s pieces and have some in my home.
How nice it was to experience this special suite in Tokyo, living a never-ending, and never-endingly eventful #Travelife.
