Today the typhoon passed through. A once in a decade typhoon (supposedly) but till it came here (it had passed through Kyushu and then all the way up through Honshu until here it had lost its power. But still it was a very rainy day. So in the morning I had a Japanese breakfast in the hotel, then wrote the blog post of yesterday and essentially didn’t do anything.
Around mid day it seems that the rain was getting a little bit lighter, so I decided to give it a go and ride to the place about 10 km from here, where there are some more artworks.
Each artwork has a small stamp hanging in a half cut PET bottle, so that you can stamp in your booklet that you completed this piece of the exhibition. The toilet in the picture above actually is also art, but also toilet. Whoever said that art cannot be practical.
On my way back, I bought some dinner and some thing for breakfast at the typical convenience store. It is really surprising how an even very remote and rural regions of Japan one can find convenient stores in most villages, that offer the same products as in Tokyo or elsewhere. And they are well used. In the time I was eating a pizza man (ピザまん) just in front of the convenient store, I could see the coming and going of the clients, all of them arriving in their small cars or trucks, picking up something small and getting on their way.
