Another afternoon in Asakusa, then at the Lucie Rie exhibition in Roppongi
On Sunday, the posters of THE TIGER FACTORY were finally delivered to us. They looked good. To celebrate that, Professor Ando decided to organize a short tour in Asakusa for Ming Jin and the rest of us THE TIGER FACTORY gang.
Professor Ando and Ming Jin
Senso-ji, as usual, was crowded.
So we weren't there for long.
After that we thought to take a boat ride across Sumida River. But it was way crowded.
We ended up watching the passing boat instead.
After a while, I spotted a vaguely familiar sight emerging from the distance.
It was the Himiko Waterbus. Nearly a year ago, I took a night cruise in the Himiko Waterbus, it was rather memorable.
That's Yuiko the assistant producer.
We crossed a bridge.
We then headed off to Roppongi.
Professor Ando and Yuiko (along with the camera-shy Kobayashi-sensei) with two versions of THE TIGER FACTORY poster.
We ended up at the National Museum of Arts in Roppongi. Professor Ando had free tickets of the Lucie Rie (1902-1995) exhibition. Lucie Rie's an Austrian-born British potter.
Many of her designs were in display.
After snapping that last photo, I saw a cute museum attendant walking hurriedly towards me. I thought she wanted an autograph. She told me that photography wasn't allowed in the exhibition.
