The original design was inspired by a set of round pagodas that existed more than 1200 years ago in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan. The initial structure featured a 17-century old eternal flame (left picture) that was donated by the Sumida Shrine in Osaka and a reflecting fish-pond (second from left) that encircled the Pagoda.

I love the new car. What is that building with the layers of disk like roof? That looks really cool. I remember going to the Sony Metreon a while back and thinking it was cool back then. Sounds like it is really outdated. Its only right that el bucho be rollin’ on the DUBS. I love the new car.
