Town: There are 2 distinct halves to Japan. The Cyber-side and the Old world side. Both co-exist in the same space at times. My favorite example of this is the picture directly below. I hope this page suplies you budding background artist with some good refernce material.
	This shot is in Akihabara. Akihabara is also known as the Electric Town. It's one of the subdivisions of Tokyo and deals exclusively in electronics. All over this district are alley ways with cardboard boxes filled with tech stuff for sale right there in the street. As Cyberpunk as it gets. One of the cool things about Japan is the presence of new technology and old style culture right next to each other. Like this sushi-ya and the rows of sattelite dishes.
	Another beautiful shot of Akihabara in the rain. These pictures were taken by my Japanese brother Tetsushi Suzuki

	And yet another shot of Akihabara. This is good resource material all you background artist. Photo by Tetsushi Suzuki
	This is a shot of the twilight in Machida. Machida was the next town over from mine. I used to ride my bycycle out here to go shopping and eat. I think this was taken from the balcony of Odakyu department store.
	This looks like an alley way but it's actually a street. There are main streets which are a bit wider but for the most part all the cities are spider-webbed with narrow streets like this one. If you can read katakana, notice how many signs are for Karaoke boxes ;)
	Here's a shot of the POP building in Machida and the Odakyu-Sen railway to Shinjuku.
	You always knew what time it was in Japan due to several clocks like this one (usually attached to major department stores). Every hour on the hour these clocks would chime and have a little animatronic show to the theme of "It's a small world".
