After brunch, I headed off for Sendagaya, ‘the Valley with harvests as big as 1,000 horses could carry’. I spotted a couple of odd houses in the backstreets. One making ingenious use of little space:-

Charles, welcome to Tokyo on bitterly cold day. While the north of Japan is attacked by blizzard Tokyo has a beautiful sky, but north wind must have bitten you. I was out myself and was always shrunk my shoulder as the wind was so chilly. Look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
Dear Toshio, But it was very beautiful, with such a clear blue sky. Much looking forward to seeing you ! Charles
