I recommend some places to take pictures.
1. by the new building and statue in front of Ookayama station. (Tokodai-Kuramae-kaikan)
2. wood deck in front of Honkan and Library.
3. some place in Jiyugaoka will be fine also.
What do you think.
I will wear light colored clothes and straw hat, sit on a neat and simple chair.
How about walking pleasantly?
The best day and time for me is Thursday around 3pm.
Thank you!

I tried to set a scenerio.
please feel free to comment on my first version.
Addintions or corrections are all welcomed.
私は、一人暮らしの72歳の女性。
趣味は、俳句と旅行、おしゃべり。
連絡は電話か携帯電話でするが、メールがくればメールの返事はする。
きょうは、月1回の俳句の会の日。その前に、お昼に友人3人と食事の約束をしている。
場所は携帯メールで連絡を受けているが、ひとりではじめてのところに行くのは
面倒なので、駅で待ち合わせして出かけることになっている。
天気がよいので、少し早めに出て自由が丘のお店を見ることにする。
遅刻するのもいやだし、そうすれば時間調整もできるし。
自由が丘は、何度も来たことがあるが、きょうはうわさの新しいケーキ屋を
見てみたい。
思ったより移動が順調で、待ち合わせまでは1時間以上もある。
新しいケーキ屋さんはすぐに見つかって、明日以降お茶といっしょにいただく
クッキーを購入した。ここで、少し休みたくなる。お店を出て見回すと、道の反対側に
小さな椅子が見える。すぐに利用した。
まだ時間があるので、付近をぶらぶら散策しながら駅まで戻ることにする。
椅子にすわって脇を見ると地図があり、この近くに雑貨店と本屋があることが
わかった。また、椅子の上を見ると、すぐに駅の方向と距離がわかるようになっている。
これだと遠くからでもわかるので、わざわざ近づかなくてもよいので助かる。
椅子も標識もおしゃれで、街自体がなんだかおしゃれな場所に思える。
また、バス停の方向もわかるようだ。近くのトイレの場所もわかるので、いざというときに
安心。
見回すと、まわりにもいくつか同じデザインの椅子とちょっとした案内標識がある。
これが町中にあるなら、いつでも駅に戻れそうで安心して歩ける。
ちょっと休んだら待ち合わせ時間まであと30分。ぶらぶらして戻るにはちょうどいい。
ときどき椅子を探して駅の方角と距離を確認しながらお店を回り、待ち合わせ5分前には
駅に着く。
毎日このくらい歩けると健康によい。お店を見ながらだと知らないうちにたくさん
散歩できるし、疲れたらすぐに休めるので安心でうれしい。
このような安心できる椅子と案内標識があるなら、もっと自由が丘に来ていろいろな
ところを歩きたい。他の町でもこういう設備があれば、安心して出かけられると思う。
待ち合わせで友人に会った後、この椅子のことを話した。みんなこれは便利でうれしい
と言っていた。
English-------------------------------------------------
I am a lady aged 72, living alone.
My hobby is Haiku, travelling, and chatting.
Usually, I contact my friends by telephone or cell phone. If one of them send me e-mail, I can reply to it.
Today, I have a Haiku gathering in the afternoon. Before the gathering I am to take lunch with three of my friends. I know the
address of the restaurant, but I prefer to meet them at the station then go there.
Because it was very fine today, I started a little earlier to take a walk and to do window-shopping around Jiyugaoka. I hate to
hurry avoiding to be late.
I want to go new opened cake shop today.
I reached jiyugaoka earlier than expected. The train was smooth. I have more than 1 hour before the appointed time. I reached the
cake shop easily. I bought some cookies to have with tea back home. Then I wanted to take a short rest. Out of the shop I found
simple chairs across the road. Quickly I took one.
I had some more time. I decided to go back to the station, sticking around town. As I see beside the chair, there was a simple map.
I found some interior doogs store and a book store near by. And looking up, I saw a sign that indicate the direction and distance of
the station. It is so helpful that it can be seen from a distance. In addition it looks pretty well and hence this town appears well
too.
We can know the direction for the bus stop. To know direction to toilets is a relief.
Looking around, I found several sets of chairs and directions like this. If there are these facilities all over the town, we can
walk around wothout anxiety.
After a short rest, I have 30 more minutes which is just fine. I started walking.
Occasionaly, I look aroud finding a deirection sign with some chairs, confirming the direction and distance to the station. Finally,
I reached at the station 5 minutes before the appointed time. I was very much satisfied.
It is good for health to walk this much every day. It is fun to walk in town like Jiyugaoka because window shopping is fun. I feel
much relief and happy that I can rest just when I get tired.
I would like to walk around in any town with the facilities like those found in Jiyugaoka today.
I reported the facilities to the friend when I was with them. They said it is convenient and happy to use.
Thank you!

Subject: [pigeon09] Mood board
then, see you at the lobby of west9 (2F) at about 15:00.
i will be going at 15:30 for a meeting at Tokodai-Kuramae-kaikan.
if 30 minutes seems not enough, i can be there before 15:00.
How long do you expect we need?
By the way, I wonder if we can use a chair, in a way like our protptype design.
Katsuki-san, could you find something or some place shortly by tomorrow?
oh!, it's Ok. prototype is not necessary for mood board I think.
regarding senario, i think it is fine if we can make sure each of us imagine
almost same thing by this. the one I sent last night is just one possible case.
please put your thoughts into it.
> ---------------------------------
The next day I go to Ookayama is next Monday.
How about next Monday before the class?
Or, shall we do today? Maybe it will be cloudy in the afternoon.
i am sorry i don't think I'm available tomorrow.
I am a 72 year-old female who stays alone.
Since my children and grandchildren stay far away from me, I have started to develop my interests in Haiku and travelling as a pastime.
I am scheduled to have a meeting with my Haiku friends this afternoon at Jiyuugaoka. I have arranged with 3 other friends to have lunch before meeting the others.
As always, I left my house early since I do not like to be late and make my friends wait for me. This is also because my legs have weakened due to my age and it becomes most uncomfortable when I am rushing for a meeting. After reaching Jiyuugaoka, I realized that I am early by an hour. Thus, I decided to pay a visit to the newly-opened cake shop, whereby I bought some cookies to go along with tea. By this time, my legs are very tired and to my delight, I found some colorful chairs across the street. I slowly made my way towards the seats and upon getting closer, I realized there are arrows pointing to some useful facilities like the toilet and the station. This is fantastic as I feel that I may pay a visit to the washroom after I have taken a rest. I am very happy to have resting facilities like these chairs to rest my tired feet.
Since there is still 45 minutes prior to our meeting time, I took a stroll along the streets, doing random window shopping along the way until I realized I am in an unfamiliar part of Jiyuugaoka. Thankfully, I saw some colorful chairs similar to those I had taken a rest on just now and they too have simple directions on them! I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I can easily find my way back to the station even though I am in an unfamiliar part of Jiyuugaoka. Moreover, the directions are easily identifiable from afar, and the colorful chairs formed a pretty sight. I would love to live in a place decorated with such chairs, as they make the neighborhood look livelier and picturesque. If only the neighborhood in which I stay at has such chairs too…In that case, I will go on walks more often as I do not need to fear getting lost or being unable to take a rest when I would like to. Besides, my health will improve by taking more walks too.
As I made my way back to the station, I am pleased to notice that these chairs are easily available. While I used to rely on maps to guide my way around, I am really glad to have these chairs as besides providing me with information I cannot usually find on maps, I do not worry about losing my maps simply because I do not need to bring them around.
A quick glance at my watch tells me that I am 5 minutes early for my appointment. Shortly after, my friends arrived and I told them about my new discovery today – the series of colorful and useful chairs. They are excited about these chairs, and we are now discussing on our next outing – to a town with these chairs.
Thank you!!!
さすがです。ありがとう!!
I'll put mood board some design sketches or pictures ,and this senario into our presentation file.
Maybe at Sunday night.
I'll be waiting....

Thank you for your great deign work. I like them.
Regarding maps, i think it's better to put them at the side of the poll.
Because, if somebody put his/her bags on it, nobady can see maps.
Regarding bags, Hato-san's suggestion is true, but I think people can put their
bags on the chair if there is space. I prefer our chairs to be as simple as possible.
i suppose we don't have to decide to take one.
