Tokyo Station wrapped up by Nederland in Japan
During October 2009 the Marunouchi and Yaesu sides of Tokyo Station will be wrapped up with a huge billboard of 360sqm in total surface. The collage expresses 400 years of relations between the Netherlands and Japan, covering history, tourism, design and transport. The graphic design blends the well-known Dutch icons with various images of famous persons and objects of the Netherlands. Tokyo Station is the sister station of Amsterdam Station, making it the perfect location for this unique and large outdoor promotion.
