Waseda El Dorado, also known as Rhythms of Vision, is a building designed by the Japanese architect Von Jour Caux and built in August, 1983. It is located near the Waseda University campus in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.

Waseda El Dorado

The building design is a mixture of revival Art Nouveau (or Arts and Crafts) and Japanese culture. Its interior features a Buddhist stave's giant hand pointing down from a ceiling of stained glass. The curving wrought-iron balconies take the form of lily pads, and the wrought-iron banister gracefully zigzags past elegant Art Deco stained-glass windows. Tattoo-designs adorn the ceramic figures, green-gold wallpaper is imprinted by Edo-style woodblocks, and iridescent tiles reflect the art of inlaid mother-of-pearl.

gollark: Do you want to conserve the rare resources (dark oak) or reduce crafting time?
gollark: Stuff like "should 8 dark oak planks or 1000 oak logs be used" is also a problem.
gollark: Of course not.
gollark: <@236831708354314240> The issue is that it's ridiculously hard to figure out how to best get what you want from what you have.
gollark: Like autocrafting something in Minecraft given a list of crafting recipes and items.
