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.
