It's November 3rd, Culture Day.

Did you have today for a holiday?

All of my daughter's family were busy as usual.

None of them stayed at home.

I went to her house twice, to check the locks
in the morning and to take the washing in
around 3:00 in the afternoon.

What a beautiful day!

I enjoyed walking in the neighborhood.

How nice to be alive!

I walked 10716 steps today.

This is the season of art.

Yesterday Mrs. M and I decided to meet at 11:30
around the southern ticket gates in Shinjuku Station.

I was surprised to see crowds of people there!

“This is Tokyo. And I am one of them,”I said to myself.

We went to Roppongi by underground.

Here we are at the Suntory Museum of Art!

We enjoyed Kusumi Morikage's paintings.



He was an excellent painter in the Edo period,
who was one of Kano Tanyu's students.

Most of his paintings described everyday lives
of farmers or common people.

All his and his children's paintings made me
calm, relaxed and quiet.

Mrs. M and I enjoyed walking along Roppongi Street.

It was my first time to walk there.

When did I see Tokyo Tower last?



Mrs. M and I had a very good time.

I walked 12884 steps yesterday.
