One of the nice balances the Japanese seem to do well is the tension between nature and technology. They love nature, and they even worship nature in Shintoism. What is interesting then is seeing the Japanese hold to the tension of technology and advancement couple with nature and traditionalism. Here is an example in a picture.
To the right a huge mall with four stories, an arcade, and loud sounds from a pachinko parlor. Behind me is a busy train station. And in front? A gorgeous mountain side. It seems so out of place, and yet that is what Japan holds in tension so well.
