On the eve of Hallowe'en, a world record breaking attempt took place last weekend to gather the most number of people with the same name. All named 'Hirokazu Tanaka' the group even boasts former pro baseball player ... Hirokazu Tanaka ... amongst its ranks. On the other side of the city, national museums line Ueno Park, the first public park in Japan. One of these is the
National Museum of Western Art, designed by French architect Le Corbusier. It recently reopened after several years of renovations restoring the museum to its former glory. Ueno Park is also dominated by the arrival of two new panda to Ueno Zoo, while celebrating 50 years since the first Chinese panda came to Japan.
