When I Think Of Trains In Japan,

I always think of the high speed Intercity bullet trains,

but there are others, like the Seibu’s 'Red Arrow' Limited Express, pictured above, well in a press release issued overnight in Japan, Seibu Group announced plans for a new Limited Express train that would be designed by Kazuyo Sejima, working with the train operator’s design team, the architect, one half of the Pritzker-winning studio SANAA, has proposed a concept for Seibu’s 'Red Arrow' series that would be one with the environment, melding into the background as it travels through city and countryside,

and this is it, gone are the bold colors, more of a translucent almost see through look, will her design meet the approval of Seibu? we will have to wait until 2018 when Sejima who has been tasked with designing both the exterior and the interior nears the completion date.
