It was markedly warmer today, with temperatures around 6°C. The sun was out and the sky was clear. Nice.

The two art galleries I went to were disappointing. The National Museum of Western Art (in a building designed by Le Corbusier no less) held a cross section of significant names like Monet, Picasso, Pollock; but the works did not grab me. The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum was literally overflowing with large numbers of students’ calligraphy – unfortunately not something that floated my boat.

The large chrome sphere installation was fun though.
