Since all my photographs were lost in transfer... and are still being located.....

Melancholy..thinking of the vending machines, the most uncanny plastic food displays and the colour orange..
Very busy 13 days in Japan!  Itinerary included, from the very first centre of Japan; Nara, the long running successor; Kyoto, of course; Tokyo; with lavish temples of Nikko and bountiful Osaka in between.

These are the ones in my possession at the moment..
so I begin with the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno in Tokyo; by Le Corbusier.
NMWA - blt.1959 - the only Le Corbusier's work in Asia? We saw the likeness in Kyoto - Kyoto Kaikan Hall - just found out that its architect was an apprentice of Le Corbusier's: Kunio Maekawa - photos unavailable at the moment.....arrgghh!




nope, not a tower...probably the thinest building I've ever seen..
coffee with a hint of green tea - wouldn't call it coffee..but rather nice!
