My book of walks that I mentioned earlier suggests that you shift your base every few days and I did that after the Kanda Matsuri.  I moved to an area called Meguro that amongst other things is quite handy for getting to the airport.

I saw this BCC sign on my first wander around but it was a day or so later that I found it pretty much is what it says.  It has a large library and a display of a range of old bikes and promotes cycling.  It was closed when I was nosing around so I had to take photos through the windows which is never very satisfactory but here are a couple of its bikes

Whenever you mention Philippe Starck I think of furniture but he designed more than that and one of his buildings is in Meguro.

Could have been the inspiration for the green tin building in Abbeyhill?

Very green are the grounds of the National Park for Nature Study which is very close to the Starck building.  I spent a while in there enjoying the cool shade and thinking of not very much.  Turtles and toddlers featured.

Almost next door is the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum.  It occupies a beautiful Art Deco building that was the home of Prince Asaka who had lived in Paris for three years and commissioned the house from a French architect Henri Rapin in 1933 on his return to Japan.

The exterior is quite plain but the decor inside is lovely.  Unfortunately you're not allowed to photograph much.

There were also a European style garden and a Japanese style garden in the grounds, both very pleasant.

The exhibition that was on was of graphic design from Germany which I was free to photograph as much as I liked but I wasn't that fussed.  This one caught my eye though because it was advertising amateur theatre.  Like a lot of the other material it was not very current but maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Homing in on what was performed the British contribution was satisfyingly Scottish in its choice of playwright but an odd choice of play.

On my way out I found they had a restaurant and this being 12.30 I though I mighht have lunch before moving on.  The sign said lunch 11.00 to 12.30 and 13.00 to 14.30.  Right enough they'd cleared out the customers and were resetting tables.  I hung about wondering.  Should I go in and book a seat or what. In the event I took a seat at a table outside and observed.  A queue built up and at 13.00 the doors opened and a maitre'd checked them in.

So now they've got around 25 people seated, all wanting their lunch at the same time.  I'm not sure if there were enough waiting staff to take orders promptly.  Seemed a daft way to run a restaurant.

I went on in the afternoon to a pleasant spot called Ebisu where I had some refreshment (beer is made there) and watched

what was going on.  It was mostly people walking about with or without dogs.  Some joined me in a lift to the 38th floor of a skyscraper to look at the city from above. Some coddled their dogs

Some attended to business

After a while I set off to visit an area of art galleries and the like but got muddled at some point.  Street names would help but that's not a thing in Japan except for major roads.  Anyway I ended up near Ebisu station and went back to base.
