Saturday: homeless, art
2008-08-24 00:41Sleep is good. I need more sleep. Lots more sleep.
I decided to go back to Ueno Park, this time for the Tokyo National Museum and lots of Asian art. I was running late, so for brunch got a bento box in the train station. That had a nice variety: rice, tamago, baked tofu, a couple of small roots or tubers, a bit of fried chicken, a couple bits of either other meat or really attractive fungus, a rather less attractive black mushroom, some sushi rolls.
Outside the museum I heard some public performance. Not quite sure what, though it sounded more European in music, and possibly Italian in voice. As I approached, I encountered... an odor. The whole audience was male, and scruffy; I'm thinking this was For the Homeless. Either free art/cultural uplift, or some church thing, depending on what was actually going on.
