Feel the cow love

I saw many other people enjoying the cow-parade, so I thought I’d share a few candid photos I took.

The Cow Shop!

During the cow parade there was a temporary “shop” in the the Marunouchi building. They were selling model cows, of various designs from previous cow parades. They even had plain “paint-your-own” cows for those frustrated artists among us.

One of the most interesting was “CowGirl”:

I’d like to see a real-life version of that!

The search is complete!

January 31st, 2009: It’s finally time to post the remainder of my search. I’ve faked the post dates to match when they were found.

Today I finally found the remaining cows. The final 3 “mini-moos” were spread through the upper floors in the Oazu building, so were almost impossible to find without the map.
The final cow was on the other side of the JR Tokyo station, which I’m pretty sure isn’t technically in Marunouchi.

Chillin’ with the minimoos

January 25th, 2009: It’s finally time to post the remainder of my search. I’ve faked the post dates to match when they were found.

I found 2 of the remaining “minimoos” with the help of the map. They were on the third floor of the Marunouchi building, in quite a nice spot overlooking the autumn sunshine outside.

Hidden cows

I went looking for cows 10 and 12, since I knew roughly what area to look in. I found cow 10 without too much trouble, it was at street level opposite cows 9 and 11, and open to the footpath, but in a corner under a recessed building entrance.

After about 15 minutes looking for cow 12 I broke down and checked the map, which showed it was in the Kokusai building. Even then it took me another 10 minutes to find it, since it was in the basement (there are about a dozen restaurants down there).
