A cathedral harmonizing modern design and sacred space, designed by architectural master Kenzo Tange.
Overview
Tokyo Cathedral St. Mary's Cathedral, completed in 1964, is a Catholic cathedral designed by the world-renowned architect Kenzo Tange. Tange is known for designing numerous iconic buildings, including the National Yoyogi Gymnasium and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. This cathedral stands as one of his masterpieces. The exterior features a beautiful stainless steel facade composed of graceful curves, while the interior is enveloped in a majestic atmosphere.
