a very warm and super hot afternoon as far as you can remember.

too hot that you couldn't walk on the street to explore the ueno area but chose to hibernate in a museum.


it was so hot that you are ready to hide in any museum within the proximity and you chose tokyo national museum.

you were relief to see finally a building where you can hide...

instead of standing and wandering under the cloudless sky...you run

a shady place to avoid the sunlight for the reflection of the heat from the cemented floor is too unbearable

you were dehydrated by the time you stepped in to one of the exhibition hall and seriously need to cool down your body and you got yourself a uji green tea waffle ice cream from the vending machine at the museum.

there's not much too see there, so you walk out and again confronted by the heat, taking your shelter under the shade of a tree as you look to the left, you found your oasis, a place that draws you naturally... so you walk toward this place

you love this building as the design is super cool as if you have found your oasis moment. the illusion of the patch of water cooled you down immediately, even though in reality the temperature out there remain at 30c +.

you went in, sat at the resting area and became totally motionless but just enjoy the air condition and observe this view in front of you. it looks like there is a pond or a pool out there and you are totally amazed at japanese design illusion.
you didn't see much of the exhibition in this museum, most of them are the artifacts that didn't interest you, but you enjoy this view the most.
