Hot Spot

Day 168: Thursday, August 25, 2011

Hajimeten held a 24-hour workshop about sports and art at an artist-and-residency space in Ibaraki. When we arrived by car, locals told us that Ibaraki sometimes gets high levels of radiation and warned us that we should stay off the grass because it's a hot spot, which naturally was a bit scary to hear. Even so, there were kids crossing the lawn on their bikes and playing ball, so we decided to not think about it as well (...but if we did actually think about it, the crazy thing was that it was only a 30 minute car ride from Tokyo).
