I'm back in Tokyo again. Been here about a week now and slowly getting finding my way around. Feet are sore from all the walking but that gets better over time. Anyway, the exercise is great. Staying in a different location this time, in Futako-Tamagawa. It's very close to the river, which is unusual in that it looks as if it were once very wide but has since been dammed somewhere upstream, so that now only narrow (but fast moving) greenish water winds its way between reclaimed banks of grass covered islands. People lying around, having picnics and playing baseball. The distinctive mettalic sound as the bat hits the ball, echoing across the water. As I took some photographs of the overlying bridge, I happened to notice some very interesting graffiti. Not only did it stick out because there was only this one small area that had graffiti but also becasue of the artistry of the work itself. There is a well known art college nearby and maybe some of the students did it? Anyway, now that I've figured out how to get back into my blog I'll keep this updated for the trip.
