Japanese Scale Patterns
You can see scales all over the Tokyo Sky Tree. The scale pattern is a series of triangular patterns that have been used since ancient times to ward off evil spirits. Not only the exterior of Sky Tree, but also when you go inside you will find the same patterns! Regarding the Sky Tree, it has an interesting structure where the triangular prism at the base transitions to a cylinder at the top. The triangular pattern is often used. Skytree is located in the downtown area that supports Edo culture. It is also very interesting to see that traditional crafts were used as interior decorations.
