Japan might be famous for its bullet trains. But they seem to have been out of fashion by now. So, this time, Japan’s noted architect Sejima has created an invisible train! This train would be using the reflective and transparent materials to let the train travel without visibility. This was thought to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Seibu Company which owns the railways around Tokyo. But what is the use of travelling in the invisible train? Sejima seems to have a valid answer for this.
Travelling in an invisible train in the nature would be a great experience, according to Sejima. The travel would not disturb the harmony of the nature and it’s like watching nature as an invisible spectator. In other words, the train would co-exist with the circumstances it’s travelling. This train has already won various accolades and would be making its debut in 2018. Japan government is expecting this train to be an architectural marvel as well as a tourist attraction.
