Tonight we went to a small basement theater in Shinjuku to watch a musical program by a daughter of friends and her friends. Marika was obviously the most talented performer there. Almost all of the musical numbers were in Japanese. Afterwards Rick and I decided to walk around Shinjuku before returning home. We ended up at Times Square and went up to the 11th floor of Takeshimaya to see what the Yuzawaya there is like. Yuzawaya is a craft and sewing chain here in Japan. I have not recovered since they closed the 8 story store, that had everything, in Kichijoji. The store we went to is adequate, but it still does not compare.   I bought two packages of wool to try felting a leaf and center for a flower I want to make from a sweater that I felted. At the entrance to Takeshimaya there was an icey sculpture of a human figure and a Christmas tree. Closer inspection revealed that they are made out of empty water bottles. They were quite fabulous…
