...more than the treasures for sale inside. The ultramodern glass building, which resembles a fantastically illuminated medieval castle, is also Omotesando's most striking piece of architecture. Its creator, Kazuyo Sejima, 47, recalls that Dior requested that the building be feminine, elegant and intimate. With her partner, Ryue Nishizawa--with whom she runs SANAA Ltd.

"But their experience of playing high-level soccer will certainly lift their performance and the Japan team." If the players help some European clubs sell more Tshirts along...
...Premier League's newfound appetite for Japanese players has as much to do with balance sheets as it does ball skills. Having a Japanese player on the squad could yield a club rich revenues in TV broadcast deals and kit sales in Japan. Why else would Bolton sign Nishizawa, goes the argument, after the player had just returned to Japan from an unremarkable spell at Spanish side R.C.D. EspaNyol? And how much playing time will Inamoto get in an Arsenal midfield that already boasts players like Robert Pires and?for now, anyway?Patrick Vieira? When English side West Ham United...
