On The Run
Named after one of Japan's most famous architects, Tange profits of today's sparkling autumn weather to discover the vicinity's works.
Well, maybe not for the sake of the architecture, but our cat do love to escape the house. Recently he's started to hangout with the neighbourhood's gang of wild ones, and today when a carpenter was over to prepare for some roof renovations, of course he made his way out there.
Curiously, there's a connection between the name of today's runaway and the fact that our house is old and needs some treatment: once, way back in the late 1930's, when Tange Kenzo was an architect student at Tokyo University, he actually lived right here. 70 years later, the house still stands, only with a different Tange on the chore roll.
