August 11 to October 11, “Yoshitomo Nara- From the Depth of my Drawer” is as good an excuse as any to get there if you haven’t been yet.

Had to pay some bills, go to the post office, do a little shopping, so I walk down the hill towards Gotanda Station. Hey! Wait a minute… The six storey building with the fruit stand in it is gone. But, there is a new hotel half-finished over there across the street. The constant turmoil of demolition and construction can make your own neighborhood new almost overnight. Those six to ten storey buildings just appear or disappear as if city planning is run by an eight year old with ADD and a box of Lego.
