While Day 7 looks like it’s going to be a great, sunny day for a trip to the Design Festa, the rain on Day 6 made a trip to the mostly indoor Roppongi Hills area seem like a great idea.
The second wave of postcards pictured above comes from the incredible “Metabolism: The City of the Future” exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in the Mori Tower. While we couldn’t enjoy the views from the tower’s Sky Deck on account of the weather, the exhibition was a spectacular visual feast covering the Metabolist Movement.
For dinner, we made reservations at the Kimono Wine Bar, an excellent restaurant run by Lauren from the Toyko Hackerspace. On the walk over from Roppongi Hills, we passed by the first bits of Graffiti we’ve seen here in Japan along with some interesting warnings we’ll post to our Flickr pool. We then went back to Roppongi to catch some of the legendary nightlife there, managing to stumble back to Ikebukuro just before the last train.
And now we’re off to the mailbox to drop off these postcards and catch some more great art in Japan. If you’d like a postcard, just e-mail us with your address and we’ll send one right out to you.
