Yesterday, I got woken up by a phone call from dad. I didn't know that he was in Tokyo! He asked me if I had time for lunch and I invited him to come to our flat. We went to a Chinese restaurant near our place. He still had a bit of time before his flight, so I took him to a temple called Daienji (in Japanese) in Meguro. We wanted to see the buddha statue, which is an "important cultural asset", but it wasn't shown to the public. We can see it only during New Year's time and on a few other occasions every year. The temple is quite small compared to Yutenji temple near our place! It was too cold to walk around, even though the Japanese maple leaves are still green, maybe dad brought the cold from Hokkaido. I was in my bare feet in the flat until last week, but I need socks and sheepskin slippers. I also need a hot carpet very soon.
