(The best two sites with english information on art, design and architecture in Japan and Tokyo are Ping Mag (http://www.pingmag.jp) and Tokyo Art Beat (http://www.tokyoartbeat.com/)).

Ping Mag has another great article on an artist called Palla (http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/12/21/pallalink-twisted-symmetrie-photographs-2/):

"Kazuhiko Kawahara - called Palla - is an artist from Osaka. He originally studied architecture and worked as an architect for 10 years but then gradually got more and more into photographing architecture and transforming these photos to reveal the patterns hidden in modern cities..."

He creates his images as a semi collaborative process

"Palla started his weblog Pallalink.net in 2002 where he posts his pictures, layering and shifting them under the influence of his online audience’s comments - a journey into rich cityscape structures. Visiting his website and browsing around his archives is a must!"
