April 3-6, 2003: The 100th anniversary of 'Females' Friends"
The exhibition "We have walked a century together with the subscribers"
I visited Tokyo together with my friend.
We were lured by the full blossoms of cherry and passed under the flower to visit Tokyo Art Theater.
The school students seem to have just finished a rehearsal for tonight's concert.
We arrived at Tomorrow's Hall of Jiyu Gakuen campus. The Hall was nominated as a national important cultural property. Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous American architecture, designed the Hall at the request of Motoko Hani.
Beautiful flowers welcomed us.

An exhibit "The 100th anniversary of 'Females' Friends, 'We have walked a century together with the subscribers'" is the main purpose we visited Tokyo. Many subscribers join at the Hall.
In the evening, we returned back to the National Art Theater.
The commemorative concert was open,. Junior Philharmonic Orchestra, of Jiyu Gakuen, school students we met in the afternoon, student chorus, violin play by Teiko Maebashi, piano by Takahiro Sonoda, conductor by Kazuhiro Akiyama, all are the graduates of the campus. I met many friends there.
Ikebukuro evening increased its brightness when the concert was over.
On April 4, we visited Tomorrow's Hall again and looked around the exhibit eagerly.
Sakura blossoms and the Hall match very well.
Good friends.
