Arakawa clean-up

Today we spent most of the day cleaning up a small stretch of the Arakawa, the large river that runs through the eastern side of Tokyo.
Mari organized the event for her office, after I came back with a good report from the clean-up expedition that my then-employer put on. The life insurance firm that Mari works for seems to have more energetic personnel than the bank I was working for. Or perhaps it was the level of organization that went into the event. I don't know, but I was a lot more impressed with the effort that the smaller life insurance firm put in, and I have to say that the results were a lot better—that stretch of the river was spotless.
Naturally, I've got photos galore
