Tange's architecture plans is a mixture of modernist design and Japanese tradition. For example, the cenotaph in front of the exhibition hall is based on prehistoric Japanese "haniwa" ceramics. This turn towards traditions is a continuation of the wartime "tradition debate" in Japanese architecture, where architects debate on ways to implement traditional Japanese architectural characteristics in modern buildings as a celebration of Japanese imperialism. By the postwar period, architects began to look toward the more distant prehistoric past of Japan for inspiration as a justification of implementing Japanese conventions without the imperialistic implications.
