3. Arrival (1st June 2018)
When arriving at the airport, I took a bus
to Tokyo station. Here, I felt extremely intrusive, as if I was not welcome.
While I was dressed in shorts and a small shirt, everyone had costume and
serious clothes. I almost regretted coming so far away from my home. People
peered at me in a weird way. Fortunately, in the Shinkansen, everything was
quiet. After 5 hours of travel (bus, Shinkansen and train). I finally arrived
at Toyomi Station where Kentaro-san waited for me. He welcomed me in a friendly
way and helped me with my luggage. We then went to his home who was really
close to the train station and presented ourselves. I met his wife Makiko but
everyone was tired, so we went to bed early. He led me to the house where I was
to sleep that was also his museum. He showed his magnificent sculpture that he
made, and that were more astonishing one after the other. From owls to cats to
woman, it seemed as if Kentaro-san could represent anything in a unique way. He
then led me to a traditional Japanese room where I slept on the ground.
