The East Pavilion in Shinjuku Gyoen
In *The Garden of Words*, Takao Akizuki and Yukari Yukino meet in a Japanese-style pavilion during the rain. The camera looks from inside the pavilion toward the rain; the boy sits on a bench drawing, while the woman drinks beer and eats chocolate. Water drips from the eaves, surrounded by greenery, creating a quiet and melancholic atmosphere.
