Ueno Park

Ueno Park, including the statue of Saigo Takamori, "the last true samurai". Takamori was an early leader in the Meiji Restoration, but later believed the government was betraying the country so joined the Satsuma Rebellion. He was killed in 1877.

Somehow, we forgot to visit the pond. Maybe it was the Sakura whiskey highball in a can I had with our cutlets at lunch. They were minced meat, ham, and potato, by the way.Weiterlesen
