About 8 p.m. I went to Shinjuku with Koba in order to buy books at Shinjuku South store of Kinokuniya* (紀伊国屋書店 新宿南店) because I received an E-mail from Kinokuniya that for 3 days (yesterday, today and tomorrow) this store was having a sale at a 20% discount for all of English, French and German books (partly at a 50% discount for some of French or German books.)
It has been a long time for me to land at Shinjuku in spite of the fact that I went through there by train every time I go to university. (Maybe it was the end of October last year to visit Shinjuku last.)
And we can search books which they keep in stock on their website* therefore I made a wish list with this service before I visited this store.
Following are the books I bought at Kinokuniya.
Arendt, Hannah: Responsibility and Judgment. Schoken Books: New York, 2003. 1,508 yen
Arendt, Hannah: The Promise of Politics. Schoken Books: New York, 2005. 1,361 yen
Arendt, Hannah: Essays in Understanding 1930-1954. Formation, Exile, and Totalitarianism. Schoken Books: New York. 2005. (1st ed. 1994.) 1,606 yen
Arendt, Hannah: Was ist Politik. Piper Verlag: München. 2007. (1 ed. 2003.) 1,645 yen
*Some texts of this book written by Hannah Arendt herself in German are translated into English in The Promise of Politics.
Heuer, Wolfgang : Hannah Arendt. Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag: Hamburg. 2007. (1 ed. 1987.) 838 yen
*I bought this German book at a 50% discount.
Auer, Dirk. Rensmann, Lars. Schulze Wessel, Julia (ed.): Arendt und Adorno. Suhrkamp Verlag: Frankfurt am Main. 2003. 1,736 yen
*I am surprised that these editors are young scholars born between 1970-71. (36-37 years old when published.) And this book is very interesting to weigh Arendt with Adorno because Arendt hated Adorno maybe not academically but personally.
Total: 8,694 yen orz... I'm poor....
About 9 p.m. after shopping we were wandering around Shinjuku station in order to look for a shop or a restaurant where we had dinner.
Then we found out the shop sign of Taishoken Maruichi (大勝軒まるいち 新宿店), which we had never visited.
When we were thinking whether we should challenge this unidentified ramen shop, suddenly and heavily it began hailing (ひょう).
We regarded this sudden heavy hailfall as Heaven's will (God led this evil Ramen Satan! Hahaha!) and made an "Entscheidung" (decision) to "(ent)werfen" (throw forth) ourselves into this unknown sphere like Heidegger!
There were already 4 guests waiting in line in the small shop before us.
But other customers entered the shop after us one after another probably because of that sudden hailfall.
I chose extralarge-sized tsuke-men (つけ麺大盛) (600 g) (850 yen) as well as Koba.
He was not able to eat it up.
He regretted and said "it's the biggest mistake of my life." His parents are farmers and he think that we should not waste foods.
Of course I ate it up all but it was not easy for me.
I will not choose raman or tsuke-men over 500 gram any more.
It stopped hailing when we left the shop about 10 p.m.
After that we chatted at McDonald's.
