(...because it really had a hole on his hips... he was the cat of the homeless guy whose stuff you can see on the "seat" below me on the only photo where I appear: his "master" probably couldn't feed him so much!)	Here again, the original colors are far better than on this scan... but still, I like the "contrast/game" beween the yellow and green on this photo, which isn't so obvious when it is scanned... and the "construction" in general.	Other point of view to the same mini-kiosk, nice place isn't it?
Cat! This parc was really made for me!	Cat again (hunting this time), who obviously didn't have any special problem to get food, contrary to the previous one!

Of course I didn't take photos of -everything-, there were too many things for that and didn't have much film anyway (+ development = expensive!), but most of all... there are really beautiful places in this parc, of which you can't take any photo: trees are so tall that you can't "jail" them into the "frame" of a camera, and they create so much shadow anyway that any photo would probably be too dark, unless I took a lot of time for tests... but I prefered walking a little. But it really is a gorgeous parc, very peaceful, where you may enjoy a very pleasant walk.
But what is so "occidental" is this parc in the end... well probably the flora/plants themselves. But the way they're "placed" inside the parc is very Japanese, of occidental inspiration... but Japanese. I even saw there the biggest plane-tree I ever saw, next to a house of some official guy in the early XXth century I believe: trusting the size of this tree, it was probably brought to Japan about when this house was built! Plane-trees are cut so quickly in France nowadays that we forget how a large plane-tree can be -beautiful-.
One thing I didn't like so much in this tree though: the "boundary" between homeless people and "normal people": as soon as you see -a lot- of dead leaves on the ground, it's like a sign for: "from here on, you enter the territory of homeless people"... It's a little sad, I mean that if they let them live in this parc, why "parking" them this way? Japanese society and its eternal reject of any difference... (at least the guy with the cat didn't bother with that, and he was definitely right, no one bothered him anyway, just like he didn't bother anyone, he just took the time to enjoy the place... and this I can understand!)
