Ueno park is just 3 stops up from our station and full of museums and flowers.  We had decided toto do 1 museum and choose Tokyo’s National Museum,  the oldest! 

The park turned out to be hosting a Sake tasting festival with entertainment and food!  Just in time for us for lunch!

Our afternoon we planned to add a workshop doing the art of Kintsugi, golden repair,  the Idea that just because something is broken it still has value.  It is the repair of broken pottery with resin (or super glue in modern times) and not hiding the crack, but embellishing the flaw with gold.  It is a wonderful concept,  that the old,  broken things can be beautiful and still useful!  Perfect for 4 Seventy somethings!

Great afternoon!  and a great souvenir of Japan when we finished
