Imperial Hotel Brochure
Image
Cover of an English-language tourist brochure entitled "Imperial Hotel Tokio." The brief text does not mention the hotel's famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Instead it states that the hotel "is the final work in world hotel construction. It is neither of the East nor of the West, but might fittingly be called a blending of the ideals of the two civilizations. Here the traveller will find a place where beauty and service have been combined so happily, that they constitute a completed whole in which neither is sacrificed."
circa 1955
