Went back to the International House. Slept a little and got ready for my meeting at Kazuyo Sejima (architect) studio. She built Pachinko parlors, a museum, a police booth in Tokyo, and a private house, and she seems to have a very attentive way of working with the clients, as well as a respectful relationship with modernism, without being a slave to it.

Met Emmanuelle and Mariko for some shopping. They modeled for me at Comme des Garçons and Miyake. I loved it. Went to a design gallery. Drove to Yokohama for an opening. Dinner in Chinatown.

Bed.
