Earth Day, April 22, 2019

Hachiko

Earth Day


A bunch of people got together to celebrate Earth Day in Central Park. It was a really nice day for it.



There were a number of food and drink tables, as well as jewelry and crafts vendors.



One table, for Dynamic Laboratories had low-tech machines for making stuff with "precious plastic".



Including the "precious plastic injector." Not sure how this fits in with the general theme of the day..



On a more practical note, there were children's games and activities.



They also had live entertainment, including this pair of women doing a traditional dance. I've seen most of this before, and the food prices were on the high side, so I only stuck around long enough to take a few photos, and then I left.


Ogojo Love Project


Meanwhile, over at the open space in front of Lotteria, in Tenmonkan, was Ogojo Love Project 49. I had to check this out just for the name.



Turns out it was just a workshop promoting aroma therapy, hand massage, and hair arrangement.



Kids were welcome, and they did have clowns making balloon animals for them.



There was an event stage, too, but I couldn't find a schedule for it. Maybe it was just for making advertising announcements.

Nothing else going on this last weekend. Up at Amu Plaza, people in bright costumes were handing out fliers for Dai Hanya, which will be next weekend. I'm really excited about that.
