I'm looking for what the original plans by Ende & Bockmann were for the National Diet Building. Is there anyone that has seen them or can find them (atleast look better than I have)? The one they eventually built IMO is completely atrocious and was wondering what "could have been".

It was miserable Meiji diplomacy to revise an unequal agreement of Tokugawa

Thanks Caster! Really great finds. The original designs for the entire Government was absolutely splendid.

From what I can tell they showed
-The Imperial Palace
-The Supreme Court
-The Metropolitan Police Station
-The National Diet Building

Is that correct?

By the by, I'm not even talking about that.
