Today I want to go to a crowded place, but I would go to a garden or a beautiful park. The question of whether there are beautiful gardens in Tokyo on Sunday, but without a lot of people forbidden to leave Kayoko, that the fall-back on my original purpose, there is an exhibition at the Museum of Graphic Arts Machida (a 45 minute train ride west of Tokyo, a little 'less to where we are), which closes today, I wanted to go see it but I'm not sure just want to have today ...
So with this mood a bit 'So he left.
got off the train, I headed to the park surrounding the museum, following the tracks pass under this overpass.
It 's a very hot today, I'm already sweating under my umbrella, luckily I'll be right at the park, where you can breathe with all this green. 
This part of the park is left as "wild", where kids can splash around in the grass and into the water. 
There are even looking for the scouts also do not know what. 
un'aiola There's also my favorite flower ... 
Si passa da una galleria (c'è una strada sopra che divide il parco in due), e dall'altro lato l'ambiente cambia completamente, c'è un grande prato dove giocare a calcio o a baseball o a qualunque altra cosa, e poco più avanti c'è questo. 
Le due braccia di questa fontana (non saprei come altro definirla) si muovono facendo cadere l'acqua ora di qua ora di là, tra l'evidente giubilo dei bimbi che aspettano sotto. E' come se fosse una piscina all'aperto (per bimbi, e quindi bassissima), gratuita e aperta a tutti.
Lungo il viale che mi porta al museo c'è anche un canaletto dove scorre l'acqua, here the children are allowed to enter and play with water. I find this all very nice. 
The shows that are coming to see is this, it's illustrated books from the Middle Ages until the beginning of 900, going over the techniques of printing, that I did not expect is that there is only Western art, Doré's, Mucha, Brunelleschi and his few, Kate Greenaway, in short, everything really a summary of the history of the European picture book, all things I already know, unfortunately, but some are still interesting to see. 
's also interesting to read in Japanese as an example the explanation of the Divine Comedy ... In un'altra stanza sono illustrate le varie tecniche di stampa, xilografia, litografia, acquaforte, puntasecca etc...
La cosa bella di questa struttura è che c'è anche un atelier, a disposizione degli artisti che vogliono praticare le tecniche di stampa, visto che non è né facile né comodo avere in casa un torchio o conservare e smaltire gli acidi dopo l'uso.
Ci sono anche giornate in cui è possibile per i principianti provare queste tecniche sotto la guida di un maestro, mi ero informata per la xilografia, ma il primo laboratorio era a novembre, un po' troppo in là per me...
E' che ci sono molto più spesso laboratori per acquaforte e simili, ma evidentemente qui interessano di più queste tecniche "Exotic" than the print array of traditional wood, too bad!
I come back from going over the park ...
... and under the same overpass. 
This is the local sewer. 
In a way station, a poster of Keio (the train line I'm using). 
map outside the station when I go to my second destination. These maps have learned to my cost that can be both useful and misleading, since they are not always oriented to the north, but depending on where you are at that moment. 
Following the road for the next museum, I find two other manholes very beautiful. 
Unfortunately I chose to come to the museum in memory of Mushakoji Saneatsu (but it is convenient to Machida, we are always in the area west of Tokyo) just a moment between two exhibitions , so I can not see all the rooms, which are under construction.
I see the library, video room (where you can serve various types of hot tea or cold, depending on your taste), and the studio, where they hung, however, some originals. I do not like it all this man has done everything but some things are a simple exemplary.
The museum is still small (seen on the site these rooms seemed huge!) But very well done, and there is a small park nearby, where the irises are still blooming.
Returning to the station, bear this meeting. 
Where I photographed the poster with the elephant I bought three new ghosts, because the ones I had brought from Italy by dint of walking are all punctured! (Well, that happens very often here of having to remove shoes, even in the shops or museums ...) 
And this is my favorite brand of canned coffee! Not that I have tasted them all but the first one I tried and it remains as good as the first to be surprised, I was really me, I tasted for the first time after the walk under the red bulls in Kyoto, by necessity, that I really needed a coffee after a night bus and two and a half hours of walking. 
At Koyasan, where it was cool, I found it too hot, here in Tokyo now all the machines only give the cold, like all other drinks (obviously there is a seasonal change, which makes me think that also always find something warm in winter should be a great comfort ...). _
