Finally, Prime Minister Eisaku Sato entered the controversy, announced he would be happy to see the Imperial moved "in part or entirely" to Meiji Village near Nagoya, a sort of Japanese Williamsburg. Only two days before demolition was to begin last week, Owner Inumaru met with representatives from the village and agreed to save the main lobby, at least temporarily. Assuming the estimated $4,000,000 can be raised, Wright's spiritual presence seems likely to settle down with relics from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The prospect of becoming a part of Japan's architectural heritage would...
Nearly half of Japan's 98 million citizens live within the Tokaido corridor. Yet there are patches of refreshing relief from the pressures of mankind: groves of gracefully pirouetting pines, solemn stands of cedar, miniaturized terraces redolent of tangerines and tea. A bone-rattling bus ride from Nagoya can put a harried city dweller aboard a boat on the Gifu River, where-with a giant bottle of sake and the boon companionship of a river geisha-he can watch the cormorant fisherman sweep downstream...
...cities in which they live along the Tokaido have characters all their own. Yokohama is an industrial jungle that spills multicolored smoke from its mill plants, obscuring the intestinal tangle of pipelines and giant tanks constituting the Mitsubishi petrochemical works. From Nagoya, with its aircraft plants, its brooding feudal castle and gold-scaled carp, one can view gleaming reaches of the sea dotted with high-prowed tankers and freighters-a reminder that Japan is the world's leading shipbuilder. Near Toyota City, home of Japan's biggest automobile manufacturer, graze herds of hand-massaged, beer-fed beef cattle...
...exotic. Working on the whooshing-machines story, Munich Correspondent Franz Spelman sedately surveyed an international transport show from an electronically guided monorail that circled the grounds at a majestic six miles an hour. On the same story was the Tokyo Bureau's Sungyung Chang, who went to Nagoya to have a look at a model of a new 600-m.p.h. "sonic gliding vehicle." On his way there, Chang traveled on a train that moved at a mere 125 m.p.h...
Ozawa, a thinker and tinkerer who designed such World War II bombers as the "Flying Dragon," contends that the world will soon have to adopt radical approaches to surmount the speed limits of conventional land transport. On a test track near Nagoya, he has built a miniature model of his "sonic gliding vehicle," which looks like a needle-nosed submarine. His idea calls for a 627-ft., jet-powered shell that would slide along the tops of vertical columns spaced 300 ft. apart; it would carry 1,000 passengers from city to city at speeds close to that of sound...
