Just thought of something: I saw a TV show a couple of years ago where 
they showed a museum that has some sort of weird replica of Frank Lloyd 
Wright's Tokyo Imperial Hotel. Of course the "replica" part is the 
rooms and such, not the exterior.  Actually I'd like to see it. it 
sounds like a lot of "fun", Japanese style.
