More adventures in Utsunomiya. A morning walk to Hachimanyama koen, a huge beautiful park, an afternoon sound check and evening concert, and an evening excursion to hear some live jazz. Utsunomiya is known for its gyoza and live jazz scene, but to us it is also known as the place where things are closed. There was one jazz bar open on Monday evenings, and when we arrived they were taking a chotto yasumi. Luckily they soon started to play again, and we were able to sit down and enjoy their music for a couple of hours.

Einstein's Forest: Shades of the Past
on the door underneath: Homemade Hair
(This has sparked a lot of questions and curiosities for me concerning semantics.
What does this mean, or what is it meant to mean? Hair like Einstein's? Nostalgic Hair? Hair like a Forest?) |
