::dear::hara::原::美術館::

your time is running out in tokyo. and you know there are still a few museums and parks that you want to visit. you know you probably won't make it to all of them you have to choose...



today you come to see hara (原).


hara museum of contemporary arts (原美術館). a small and probably off the beaten track kind of gallery museum at kita shinagawa (北品川) neighbourhood. it really is a house that has been converted to a museum.
you love mama bush: one of a kind two.  a glitter and glamorous oprah winfrey type of lady portrait art work.  you admire the blink-blink effect on the canvas.


a special animation that sort of creating an illusion of 3 dimension but with a very bizarre story line. a black and white short film called memo - you have seen this sort of short film many times, in istanbul modern, in MoMa new york, in musuem of contemporary arts chicago,  arts institute of chicago, in most modern arts museum.

a story of suna onna by miwa yanagi, you think it is inspired by the south american legend.

a big eye naughty girl cartoon. actually you came all the way here for her but there is actually only one display about this girl.
there are some sculptures display in different places. 


 you take a break at the very nice cafe d'art over looking the garden. 
  

since you are not that hungry, you opt for an image cake and a cup of coffee. 

the image cake turns out to be a black sesame mousse but in an interesting shape.  a bleeding finger so to speak. and for you cutting the finger and putting it in your mouth is a completely new sensation and experience.

happy golden week!
