With the Japanese summer lolling (!!) pretty well over, it is back to normal scheduling for just about everything, including my various research institutes, study groups and seminars.
Today consisted of explanatory meetings for seeking external grants (constant ongoing unavoidable occupational hazard) and the first post-break meeting of the East Asia Community Research Institute. Tonight was my second meeting.
I like going there, it is held in the former residence of former PM Hatoyama Ichiro. It is now a national trust property open to the public during the day and then the venue for the research institute meetings in the evening. Easy to do when the president of the institute is the son of said PM, Yukio, himself PM for a brief period in 2009.

I do plan to come back here during the day one day, to take in the gardens, quite beautiful I understand. But first, work. And research.
