I also got my hair chopped off today, back in Aoba-ku, of happy memory. It's so fantastic to be back here, it's like I'm recharging my batteries. At the weekend I was taken to a wonderful yakitori restaurant, and then on a terrific Sunday-with-Jack we shopped for art books, had retro Ootoya food and then saw a fabulously colourful film called 'Sakuran' directed by Ninagawa's daughter Mika. It's based on a manga - think Memoirs of a Geisha on acid. With funky music by Shiina Ringo. I sincerely hope it'll be released internationally (maybe daddy's clout will come in handy...) because it's a riot!
