St Marys Cathedral Tokyo

I also have not been here and don’t really want to since I’m not a fan of plain old concrete, however, looking around their website shows that that even the baptismal font is horrible especially when compared to the one in Kamakura. Click on layout in the upper right of the page then on the various items to see photos.

Their cross does not have a crucified Christ on it either

And their altar don’t get me started I will just let you read their description for yourself.

The altar as the symbol of Christ, the center of unity for all humanity, recalls the table of the Last
Supper.
This alter is made from Italian marble. In the elevated part of the sanctuary we find the altar itself, the lectern and the seat for the presiding priest. All this shows the presence of Christ during the services in the Word of God and in the presiding priest.
