[1]Tokyo Celebrates 150th Anniversary with Uplifting Message:

    Standing before a life-size model of Nihombashi's Nakamuraza Theatre
    on the newly remodeled sixth floor of the Edo-Tokyo Museum,
    calligrapher Shoko Kanazawa sweeps a large brush over the white
    canvas on the floor.

    This year marks the 150th of the renaming of Edo to Tokyo, and with
    Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike looking on, Kanazawa, dressed in a black
    hakama, helped write a message commemorating the anniversary, and
    celebrating Tokyo's future.

    "Congratulations, Tokyo," said Kanazawa, standing over the finished
    piece. "Let's fly together."
