As a facilitator for "Look at me!" WS 2 days before the race

I periodically visit museums in Hiroshima as a fasilitator for "Look at me!" workshop.

We have finished running practice for the race, so I could make it between "to dos" in the city. I went to Hiroshima Prefectual Art Museum and Hiroshima Museum of Art.

We, visitors are allowed to take pictures of some in Hiroshima Prefectual Art Museum. How nice! How educatinal!

This is "Kegon-Falls" in Nikko located in north from Tokyo, which was my Dad's favorite place. (He visited there THREE times all by himself, never took Mom or me there! It's not fair!)

One of my old friends gave me a ride there from Yokohama as we're students.

This fall is very mysterious, silent(just a sound of water...), sometimes even scary...I think.

However I have faund a small rainbow in this picture, in which I can find a trace of hope. Guess...why rainbows always give us hope?

I often hear some say "We don't appreciate this kind of art.", but all I can say to them is "Use your imagination."

Love this sunset & sea. I have no idea where is this, but I do know this is sunset, not sunrise.

I never know what kind of technique the artist used, but it is awesome enough to let us know it's sunset.

As a facilitator for "Look at me!" workshop, I make it a point to analyze the drawings in this way. In the workshop every participant will draw his/her "Imaginary Landscape", so facilitators are all happy to know what they think, what kind of idea they have in their mind. And it is going to be "YOU!" next!

After the museum, I took a moment to walk Shukkeien-Garden as the weather report announed cherry blossom has begun to bloom. They are still on their way! They will be the best in bloom this coming weekend when I have a guest from US! Perfect timing!

BTW, I can see a tall buiding under construction just in front of JR Hiroshima Stn. It will be the highest one that will have 40 floors. It is a condo as long as I heard, I wonder if it will be like Trump Tower in NYC!?!?

Also found garden cafe booth. I love the idea of "Sakura Bottole" It was still chilly outside so I couldn't stay that long. Maybe I should come back soon again.

After writing this, I just work for a sudden PC work between Europe & Japan...Please wish me lucks!
