We missed the Hokusai exhibition
We have to go there before it is over, and the deadline is December 4th.
Akiko got the tickets a while ago, but we were waiting for the good timing to enjoy the Ueno park at the same time as this exhibition of Hokusai work at the National Museum.
The information we got about the color of the leaves was outdated, and there were not much leaves left. It is still a nice park to walk around. 
It is full of museum, shrines and temple, is host to Japan's first zoo where one can see giant panda bears.
Anyway, our purpose was the Hokusai exhibition…. but there was already a 30 minute queue to enter and we gave up the idea, at least for today. We’ll try again tomorrow, earlier.
