Waseda El Dorado 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 .
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 .
