Another Fork in the Road

The Admiral, the Forkhead, and the Ancient Mariner

It's impossible to walk more than two blocks in Tokyo without stumbling across at least one whimsical piece of public art.  Last week we spotted "Forkhead" and his spoonheaded partner flanking a restaurant entrance between the Kabuki theater and the Ginza.

A few days ago Fearless asked me if I like stone lanterns (yes) and if I would be interested in one featuring Anpanman (yes).  Then she burst my hope bubble by informing me that such lanterns are not available for purchase.  How curious.  How mysterious.  Still, I find myself scanning my yard first thing every morning.  Hope springs eternal.
