		This tradition, was, to Tange, a merger of two basic forces within the Japanese culture: the Yayoi and Jomon.
		Tange saw Katsura as being representative of these two forces and cultures coming together in one beautifully coherent work.
		In this way, Katsura also, for Tange, represented the Japanese people—a synthesis of passion and refinement at all times tempered by a love of and kinship with nature, he writes, "It was in the period when the Katsura Palace was built that the two traditions, Jomon and Yayoi, first actually collided.

		Long ago, when I was "reading architecture" at Cambridge University (it turned out that you had to do more to architecture than merely read it if you wanted to become an architect), I remember noting the name of Japanese architect Kenzo Tange.
		Now, modernistic buildings which look interesting rather than deadly dull, which celebrate the expressive possibilities of modern building technology instead of merely using it to erect giant blocks of boredom, are all the rage.
		Tange did perpetrate quite a few concrete lumps, but on the whole, he did better than that.

		Many Japanese architects who later gained prominence, such as Arata Isozaki, Kisho Kurokawa and Fumihiko Maki, were once members of his university studio, the centre of his design activities until 1961 when he established the office Kenzo Tange & Urtec, Urbanists and Architects, in Tokyo.
		Tange was perhaps the most important architect in Japan during the 1950s and 1960s, times of national unity and established social agenda with which his heroic vision and hierarchical, structured architecture were in tune.
		His career was marked by early success with winning entries for competitions to design a memorial to the creation of the Great East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere (1942; unexecuted) at Mt Fuji and a Japanese cultural centre (1943; unexecuted) in Bangkok, which brought him considerable attention.
