Mambonsai
Today we went to check out Paradise Yamamoto's World of Mambonsai Exhibition at the Logos Gallery in Shibuya Parco Part 1.
Exhibited are a few dozen of full-size bonsai works by Paradise, most presented on congas, along with a lot of smaller works. All works are not only bonsai trees but also have tiny figures of people or other living creatures (animals, aliens, and even Ultraman) around them, making them a lot more fun to check out even for those who don't know much about the bonsai art.
Paradise is also there in person most of the time to answer people's questions and sign autographs! Although I had already met him and got his autograph before I couldn't resist to get another one, this time on a postcard of his "takoyaki nanbo mambo" bonsai (featuring a takoyaki stand with clients wearing kimono).
Pictures weren't allowed so I don't have anything to show, except for this picture of me in his mambo outfit. :)
The event goes on until Wednesday June 9th.

pictures not allowed? Bad time to get a call on your keitai and holding it to check who is calling ... and then the guards smack you down !!!

Actually I was going to take a few pictures with my keitai but the battery was down and it wouldn't let me. :(
