	JAPAN 2001: A Museum to Remember
		At the heart of the Byodoin complex is a Buddhist image hall dating to the eleventh century built by the Fujiwara family of court nobles as part of an enormous aristocratic compound located in Uji on what was then the rural outskirts of the capital city.
		The new glass and concrete museum at Byodoin, however, encased the poured concrete in forms of narrow wooden strips placed at different depths, resulting in textured walls of great beauty and sublime orderliness.
		Natural light is allowed into the structure indirectly, and the interiors seem subtly lit so as purposefully to allow the objects contained therein to dominate against the architectural background provided by the building itself.
