Today allotment for another round of museums!
The first stage is the futuristic building the other day, the Tokyo International Forum.
the bottom of this immense hall is the Museum Mitu Aida is completely dedicated to the figure of this calligrapher and writer, well known here in Japan. What can I say, I could not start the day better than that. The setting is superb and works well, and within the 2 hours pass and I spend there I completely fell in love.
exit, are embarrassed of what to buy, until I see that he also did two books a bit 'image (from the same content but very serious!).
And the cashier gave me a gift bag, which then was nothing more than free admission for the next exhibition, which will change in mid-June. So there I go, yatta!
I arrived here in the metro, but now I take the train from here before (it's all designed!) To go towards the north, Oji. In this area there is a paper museum . Here is all
a version that explains how to produce paper, as we recycle and why (did very well, with quizzes to overcome, to open boxes, which buttons to press, practically everything that can be done because the experience of learning to be playful and not boring), and the top floor is dedicated to the origins and history of the paper.
There are volunteers around, here are gentlemen retired, who worked in the mill near here, and now take visitors around. One
approaches timidly to me, everything has a notebook with the words that are translated from Japanese to English, but when he asks me if I understand the Japanese raised to feel that the answer is yes, and I'll explain a bit ' of things.
This plan is very interesting, one of the nicest things is this showcase of dolls made of paper showing its process for making traditional Japanese paper, the Washi .
then explained how to produce the card details that you often see used for calligraphy. 
There is a whole collection of different types of Japanese paper, and then explained how to create a special card with gilded relief used in the Meiji period, ie late 1800 early 1900. 
The construction technique of this paper was lost, but recently a worker was able to recreate it, and the temporary exhibition is precisely on this topic. It 's amazing, it's hard to believe that it is really carta, appunto.
C'è un video che fa vedere tutto il processo di realizzazione, che è lungo e difficile, per forza poi è carissima.
Ma sono le 2 e mi devo sbrigare, altrimenti rischio di perdere l'evento per il quale sono venuta qui proprio oggi. Tutti i fine settimana, a meno che non ci sia qualcos'altro in programma, è possibile partecipare a un piccolo workshop gratuito sulla produzione della carta, e quindi creare le proprie cartoline.
Quando arrivo giù nel seminterrato ci sono solo io, così tutti i volontari (che sono proprio quei signori che si vedono nella foto in fondo a questa pagina ) seguono me.
Gli fa piacere parlare in giapponese con me, I'm really enjoying myself and one told me that it was in Italy and also went to visit Ancona Fabriano, which is famous here, too, another joke that it is logical that I speak so well that the Japanese and 'Italian are the same! I
the first postcard (derived from milk cartons!), And ask me if I want to make another, since there is none. But over time it takes to fill out the rating of the museum that I have come other people, I suddenly find myself in a row, and even volunteers are now very efficient (not that they were not first, but with only one person were more relaxed ...), type assembly line. But
are very kind cool, I can not just say goodbye for now all are busy, but it was a great experience, I'm happy.
I go out there and make my way towards the ultimate goal of the day.
Resume Yamanotesen for Shinjuku (in practice I did a full lap of Tokyo), and from there the ChuoSen, to the west. I want to go see an exhibition that closes today, I saw the flyer and it seems very nice. In
stations, moving from one line to another, meeting a bit 'of nice things.
(turning this house of cards!) 
The last exhibit is the crowning to this day. Here too it takes me a bit 'to locate the museum is on the 6th or 7th floor of a department store, are in a commercial district, and there's the usual social delirium, amplified by the public holiday, the shop assistants Shoe scream, that of spectacles shop raps! (In Japanese, of course), and there's lots of people. But the show is wonderful, but small really beautiful, exceeding all my expectations. His name is Shino Munakata, and is another famous artist in Japan. It literally remain thunderstruck!
Rest a bit 'here to enjoy his works, and you to get back home. Finally
worthily my tour around Tokyo, instead of cutting back to Shinjuku taking another train line, and here I am to return to Shimokitazawa Uehara.
(here are shocked by the speed that I can do! ^___^)
E 'was a gorgeous day, although rain (but what do I care, I have the purple trench coat!), And I'm happy. For more
Kayoko did Yakisoba, I can not remember if I had already spoken, in practice spaghetti sautéed with grilled vegetables and sauces, and is one of my favorite dishes here, there could be no better conclusion to this day ...
