Screening report 6-7.7.2009

I arrived in Kumamoto on 6th July. It took two hours by express train from Fukuoka.

I found a local restaurant. I had a salad and salmon bowl for lunch.

I saw Miyata-san in the afternoon. He was the organiser of the screenings in Kumamoto. He runs the fabric factory which is opens to everyone (especially small children and disable people).

Miyata-san made a Sri Lankan coffee!

I met Miyata-san for the first time when I visited Aldermaston for CND event. He visited there with other Japanese peace campaigners. They visited Brian in Parliament Square on the other day, and I filmed them. So, he is in my film, too!

He read my interview article on the Japanese anti-atom paper, and then contacted me. I explained to him that I was going to Fukuoka. So, he organised the screening in his city, Kumamoto.

I tried to make the fabric art!

Done!

There was a harp in his factory, too!

Screening in the evening at the anti-atom meeting.


After the screening, Miyata-san and Mori-san took me to the local restaurant to eat raw horse meat! This is the famous food in Kumamoto.
 

And the fresh raw fish.

And the curry!

I thought I was definitely going to be fat after the trip. All the food I had was very tasty and I thought people living in Tokyo had to have very bad food for very high price.

I went to the hotel.

The breakfast was buffet style.

In the morning, I went to Kumamoto Castle.

The wall is beautifully designed not to be invaded by enemies.

I had a Japanese green tea and sweets.

I saw Miyata-san again in the afternoon, and I went to the church for the screening. People were setting up the screen!

Miyata-san's talk.


Post screening talk.

One lady said Brian was handsome and he looked like Clint Eastwood!!!!! What do you think?!?!

I flew back to Tokyo in the evening.
