It's been a sluggish day after a poor sleep last night thanks to too much sake and no food. But I managed to squeeze in some glorious time at one of the best Japanese gardens around and laid down on the turf in a secluded area near closing time with my shoes off and eyes closed. Got a wonderful 30 minutes in. Honestly, lying on grass barefoot does wonders for the body and soul...

Having a lovely treat of vegan Japanese style food for dinner (mainly so I can get some vegetables) at a wonderful, quiet little oasis amongst the concrete, decked out in wood and plants and gentle music. Calming vibes all around.

Tomorrow, I might try to squeeze in a bit more garden time and get some things posted before I schlep it for 5 hours on various trains to get myself to Tokyo. No idea what I'll be doing there for 4 days aside from going to two specific shops. Maybe just wander around with my notebook. Check out a teamLab exhibit maybe, they do some banging shows.
