Project 365: Day 205
Oyakodon
(Still from the Shinagawa pics)
Oyakodon (親子丼?), literally "parent-and-child donburi", is a donburi, or Japanese rice bowl dish, in which chicken, egg, green onions, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish, parent and child donburi, is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish. In Japan, oyakodon is often served in soba restaurants and other traditional Japanese restaurants.

Attack of the Giant Spider!Looks like everyone who's been to Roppongi Hills has their own picture of this spider. Here's mine :D
FYI:
Maman (1999) is a sculpture by the artist Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture, which resembles a spider, is over 30ft high, with a sac containing marble eggs. The title is French for Mommy. In addition to the stainless steel version owned by the Tate Modern, London,[1] there are several bronze casts, located at:
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, Missouri
National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa
State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Mori Art Museum, Roppongi, Tokyo
Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston
Samsung Museum of Modern Art (Leeum), Seoul
Jardin des Tuileries, Paris
Havana, Cuba[2]
Hirshhorn Museum Washington, D.C.
Pappajohn Sculpture Park Des Moines, Iowa
The bronze sculpture is no longer in London, Paris, Boston or Washington, D.C. as the deployment of the work in these locations had in each case been a temporary installation.

A little quote from the film:
"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange."

Project 365: Day 169
Balls!
Went back to Fuchu Festival today. There isn't much to see, but most kids are enjoying themselves playing all sorts of scooping games (goldfish, water balloon yoyo, rubber balls) :D
Goldfish scooping (金魚すくい, 金魚掬い Kingyo-sukui?) is a Japanese traditional game in which a player scoops goldfish with a special scooper. It is also called, "Scooping Goldfish", "Dipping for Goldfish" or "Snatching Goldfish". "Kingyo" means goldfish and "sukui" means scooping. Sometimes bouncy balls are substituted for goldfish. Japanese summer festivals or ennichi commonly have a stall. Both children and adults enjoy the game. The game is played for pleasure, but today, there is a National Competition of Goldfish Scooping in Japan.

Kuro-Tamago
Kuro-tamago (黒玉子?) — a local specialty of eggs hard-boiled in the hot springs. The boiled eggs turn black and smell slightly sulphuric; consuming the eggs is said to increase longevity. Eating one is said to add seven years to your life. You may eat up to two and a half for up to seventeen and a half years, but eating a whole third is said to be highly unadvised.

Project 365: Day 163
Day 163: SensojiSensoji (also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, the center of the shitamachi (lit. "low town").
The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built there for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's oldest temple.
