Night Art at Roppongi

This past weekend was Roppongi's Night Art gallery which was a little similar to Nuit Blanche back in Toronto. A handful of random art pieces and spectacles are on display around the Roppongi area free of charge for the general public.


What kind of art event would it be without a 7-meter tall fire breathing robot? A pretty crappy one if you ask me. Glad I was able to stumble upon one that night.


Tons of interesting things to see but I'm not really going to post all the pictures here. The magical effect and newness of Tokyo and Japan still hasn't worn off yet and I'm sure it won't anytime soon.

Art in Kashiwa

Went by Kashiwa last week to do some shopping and to my delight there happened to be an art festival taking place displaying the works of Kashiwa Art School students.


Art and music are one in the same so of course there had to be a musical number provided for the ambience. From what I could make of it the band was jazz and they jammed out to several songs.


It's amazing to see how the mind of an artist works. I imagine they are able to construct an idea of what they are trying to create and step by step put it together as a single finished product. I'm also jealous since I couldn't draw to save my life and my artsy factor is pretty miniscule.


Canvases were set up along the entire street outside of Kashiwa station and their respected artists were either creating or putting the finishing touches on their pieces of work.


It's days like this where I'm glad I carry my camera around everywhere. I constantly remind myself what country I'm currently in and how anything can spontaneously happen at any given time. Thanks art people for giving me a few more memories!
