Construction and history

In the postwar boom of the 1950s, Japan was searching for a monument to symbolize its ascendancy as a global economic powerhouse. Looking to the Western world for inspiration, the design of Tokyo Tower is based on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The term Western world, the West or the Occident ( Latin: occidens -sunset -west as distinct from the Orient) can have multiple meanings The Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel /tuʀ ɛfɛl/ is an Iron Tower built Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city This article is about the country For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic France topics. [3] Groundbreaking occurred in June 1957, and a daily team of about 220,000 people worked on the tower for 18 months. [7] The tower was completed by the Takenaka Corporation on December 23, 1958 (69 years after the Eiffel Tower) at a total cost of ¥2. is the biggest architecture engineering and construction firm in Japan The company's website also claims it to be the oldest firm of that type anywhere in the world since the demise of Events 962 - Byzantine-Arab Wars: Under the future Emperor Nicephorus Phocas, Byzantine troops stormed the city Year 1958 ( MCMLVIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. 8 billion ($30 million).

Steel is an Alloy consisting mostly of Iron, with a Carbon content between 0 World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including [8] Despite being 8. 6 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower (32. 6 if the tower's TV antenna is included), Tokyo Tower only weighs about 4,000 tons, 3,300 tons less than the Eiffel Tower. [9] Mainly surrounded by low-rise buildings, Tokyo Tower can be seen from many points in the central wards of Tokyo, such as Roppongi Hills, Tokyo Bay, the east gardens of the Imperial Palace, and the southern promenade of Shinjuku Station. is one of Japan 's largest integrated property developments located in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo. is a bay in the southern Kantō region of Japan.

It is a large park-like area located in Chiyoda Tokyo close to Tokyo Station and contains various buildings is a Train station located in Shinjuku and Shibuya wards in Tokyo, Japan.

One of the tower's key early proponents was politician and Sankei Shimbun co-founder Hisakichi Maeda. is a daily Newspaper in Japan published by the. It has the sixth highest circulation for a newspaper in Japan and is considered as one of the five "national" newspapers Maeda's son, Fukusaburo Maeda, later became president of Nihon Denpato, the tower's operating company.

Although the golf course opened in 1995, it failed to make a return on its profits due to an economic recession in Japan, and the company ended up deeply in debt and losing money. As a result, Tokyo Tower was mortgaged for ¥10 billion in 2000. A mortgage is the pledging of a property to a Lender as a security for a Mortgage loan. [11] The planned opening of the taller New Tokyo Tower in 2011 is expected to further depress Tokyo Tower's profits as broadcasters move to the new tower.

Appearance

Tokyo Tower required 28,000 liters of paint in order paint it white and international orange according to air safety regulations. International orange is a color used to set things apart from their surroundings similar to Safety orange, but deeper and with a more reddish hue Air safety is a term encompassing the theory investigation and categorization of flight failures, and the prevention of such failures through regulation as well as through [4] From dusk to midnight, 176 floodlights completely illuminate the tower. [4] Sodium vapor lamps are used from October 2 to July 6 to cover the tower in an orange color. A sodium vapor lamp is a Gas discharge lamp which uses Sodium in an excited state to produce Light From July 7 to October 1, the lights are changed to metal halide lamps to illuminate the tower with a white color. Metal halide lamps, a member of the High-intensity discharge (HID family of lamps produce high light output for their size making them a compact powerful and efficient The reasoning behind the change is a seasonal one. It is believed that orange is a warmer color and helps to offset the cold winter months. Conversely, white is seen as a cool color and helps during the hot summer months. [12] The Millennium Lighting was designed by Motoko Ishii[13][14]. is a Japanese Lighting designer. From 1965 to 1967 she worked at lighting-design offices in Finland and Germany
