There is PUBLIC ART

 After I posted "Where is a public ART?", I checked where actually public art is in Tokyo, then I figured out Tokyo has better amount of it than any other cities have. Some are just buried into huge buildings or simply just difficult to notice because it's usually around dead corners. And there is an another point that mostly the pieces are SCULPTUREs. I love sculptures but I want to see much more variety of art works, especially huge city like Tokyo.  Even if there is the enough amounts and varieties, I still don't think it's enough, because the problem is not about numbers but opportunities. I mean more numbers of young artists get an opportunity to put their works at public. That is a main subject of the problem I believe. Don't you want to check brand-new artists on streets? If it's possible, Tokyo gets better reputation and more attention from all over the world, and becomes a cultural HUB in Asia.

Here is a list of public arts, some are one of famous series, a few my favourite ones and interesting ones.

Enjoy strolling with arts.

Where is a public ART?

 This past week-end, in Tokyo, the sun was shine, the sky was purely blue and cherry blossoms are almost fully bloomed despite winds were still little bit chilly. So these indicated the time to do "Hanami".

 "Hanami" is a cherry blossom festival. Many carrying foods and drinks and set them under cherry blossom trees. It's traditional annual thing in Japan.Then, on that kind of weather, I, of-course, love to go outside, so I did. I walked all around the emperor place. Then I just thought "walking under the cherry brossums is pretty fun, but without it...". In New York City, there is a lot of public arts, that makes fun of walking. In Paris, la passages and architectures are like public arts, so those make people having fun during walking too. In Tokyo... where is a public art? I know there is few, actually thinking of size of the city, it's precisely not enough even it dosen't make anyone's fun for strolling. I think Japan should sift to the next step, which cities or towns dedicate more to people as not only governmentl things but social. Thinking more about communitis may make us stronger and tighter than before, and even it makes us to improve communities, I reckon.
