Tokyo Skytree is the new symbol of Tokyo. It is constructed with the combination of the ancient Japanese and the newest technology. It stands there quietly to watch over people in Tokyo.
The image of Skytree is a giant tree that is extending into the sky. The silhouette is from the image of the Japanese tradition building “So-Ri” and “Mu-Ku-Ri” which symbolized people united together and people’s hearts are closed to each other under the giant tree. From the name of Skytree, it is trying to express the image of clear blue sky and plenteous greenness. They want to communicate to people that they are aiming to build up an earth-friendly and plentiful community.
