It's a bit difficult for me to put in words the great memories we keep from our stay in Japan and especially from that particular day.
We arrive to Tokyo that same Sunday morning, and after finding the hostel and a quick shower we got on our way to meet Kumi Matsukawa and the other Tokyo SketchCrawlers.

It was fantastic to meet such a great group of people and talented artists. Thanks to Kumi for taking the time on organising the day and to the whole group for making us feel so welcome. Your kindness and hospitality was the best example of what we encountered during all our stay in your beautiful country.

I wish the day had been longer to draw and enjoy the company a lot more, almost 14 hours flight and the jet lag effects started to make effect after dinner.

Here are a couple of pictures and the few drawings I could do during the day:

Exchange of presents with Kumi


Sunshine City entrance


Portraits during dinner


The experience of meeting new people through the SketchCrawls is always nice, it becomes incredible when you are so far from home.
I really hope all the Tokyo SketchCrawlers come to visit us in Barcelona one day and we can show them and draw together again.
Thanks for all the drawings and presents we got from all of you, we'll keep them along with the nicest memories of our trip.
