I keep looking at the thumbnail shot of Peter with Joji (sp?) leaning toward him. It's very evocative, a quiet intimate moment between father and son. It is even more so with this amazing island of peace surrounded by a noisy bustling city.
Just a guess John, but I believe the bridge is not straight as it is a common design principle in Japanese gardens, straight paths and bridges allow evil spirits to traverse the path, where as broken/crooked pathways are meant to disorient spirits and essentially not allow them free passage…
My guess about the bridge – the zigzagged parts are double width, it helps people squeeze past each other when the bridge is crowded. Alternately, it lets some people pause and stand in one spot (perhaps to take photos/selfies) while others pass them.
Hey Peter I think your mask looks cool especially the PITTA ones that you had in the other video. I even went on Ebay and ordered a packet of black ones

Oka. ; ) …
Where can we see Japanese dwarf flying squirrels in Japan? Are they found around Japanese Gardens/Parks?
green mugwort or tea
Joji is awesome
Joji is a food person – Like Jen
The string could be there to stop birds landing on the hand rail and leaving messages 🤪
Lovely place to take a break from the hustle and bustle.
I would have liked me there 🙂 🙂
We spent an afternoon there in November/2017. What a wonderful calm place in the middle of the city. We will be back later this year. Cliff.
Went to Tokyo tower yesterday to listen to Peter talk. His script was silly.
so beautiful 😀 ❤

Might want to mention it's also right next door to Tsukiji Market…
Joji is real cool
I think it is a good thing not to infect other people with a Virus.
Thanks great info
Gonna go here for the 150 year anniversary festival tomorrow!
When Peter hopped that fence I half expected muscular blonde dudes in pseudo futuristic clothing to arrest him and tell you that he would be executed.
Only Star Trek TNG fans will understand that. :{
