found my spot

so yea, i'll start w/ the important part, i found this place i believe it to be Shinigawa (according to a sign) and its right next to the Roppongi-ichtome subway stop and Swedish embassy. it is a bunch of gardens between huge office buildings, one giant building (bigger then allt he rest) is all glass and looks awesome. one of the gardens was very Zen looking. i like this place b/c the gardens could be transposed to nearly any point in Japanese history.

i want my project to be about how a lot of the old customs are still kept even though things have changed greatly, specifically the samurai-esqe things. i'll have sketches tomorrow.
