Nikolai who?

June 22nd, 2008 by Ken Elm

Undoubtedly one of the most remarkable buildings in Tokyo, the Russian Orthodox Nikolai Cathedral in Ochanomizu will surely vanish during the next big tremor-what with it perched on a hillside and all. Great to look at, but not easy to enter, it is apparently named after its Russian founder who, oddly enough, is now sleeping the eternal sleep several klicks to the north - in a non-denominational graveyard as it happens! Weird that!
