Aoyama Cemetery and Christo at Midtown

Woke up at nine, and after a slow start decided to take a walk to Roppongi. Roppongi is strangely cozy during daylight. Went to 21 21 design sight at midtown, to have a look at the Christo exhibition that they currently have. Never seen the building before... lots of concrete, made me feel right at home.

Two things really cough my attention the quoting about one of the pieces "The Mastaba, a work of art whose only purpose is to be itself"; just being oneself and nothing else, so easy, yet completely impossible. The other thing was what Christo's wife wrote about her becoming and artist, Christo decided at the age of 5 to become an artist, she became an artist after meeting him, out of love for him, "If he had been a dentist, I would have become a dentist".


I walked across Aoyama cemetery on my way over there. The ume (plum) flowers have started now. So pretty.



And as all can see, the weather is brilliant today. Life is good!
