Abstract
The article compares Polish and Japanese urban landscape, paying special attention to the traits of identity that stem from tradition. The comparison is difficult because the circumstances of development of the cities differ profoundly and do so in many aspects. However, this is a perfect opportunity to observe the features that would be difficult to notice without a contrastive background. Traditional Japanese architecture and art have long fascinated Europeans. Contemporary Japanese architecture is the object of praise of enthusiasts of modernity. Yet the impact of the combination of ancient traditions and modern concepts, which can be seen in the cultural landscape of Japanese cities, is often a great surprise, as it is certainly not fascinating.
