MOT with a little one.
Thursday, 14 October 2010
These are from late August (late late post) when my niece Ako was visiting during her school holidays. One day we went to the MOT (museum of contemporary art tokyo) and had a wonderful time. They were having 2 exhibitions which kids can really enjoy, one was "kodomo no niwa" (garden of children) where everyone can enjoy physical art experience, and the other one "Karigurashi no Arrietty & Yohei Taneda Fusing Fantasy With Reality" which exhibited a life-sized set based on Ghibli's film Arrietty. I'm not a big fan of Ghibli works or animations but no it was quite interesting and amusing.
Ako was staying with my mum while she was in Tokyo like always, but after this MOT fun day she decided to spend the night at our apartment. This was the very first time she had a sleeping over at our place, she had always said she couldn't sleep without her dad or grandma so that was a real big step for her and aunty was so pleased :)

I like the name of the exhibition, garden of children, it makes me think of people planting seeds that grow into child shaped trees.
ReplyDeletethat last photo is so peaceful and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose pieces are really fresh and nice
ReplyDeleteThe portrait of Ako is one of the most beautiful picture you ever showed here !
ReplyDeleteAko is so sweet (she was probably dreaming of jumping into that colorful wall!) and the Vietnamese lunch look highly entertaining, am I right? :)
