netsuke


bought some netsuke at japanese anique market.
maybe they aren't antique though they are lovely enough for me.

my husband bought a bat folding his arms.
curling ears and hands. cute :)

(netsuke is a small wooden/ivoried sculpture that japanese people in edo era used to
use like a key ring. for pill and cigarette case, for wallet, for small bag, etc...)

i bought 2 dragon babies.

couldn't choose one. see?

back.


my husband bought me a sheep,
we couldn't help bringing back this smiling sheep...

i forgot to tell that i bought some small glass bottles.
big glass bottle was 600 yen,
small glass bottle was 300 yen and
smailing little sheep was... 1,000 yen!

side. totally rough carving. cute and kind of... grotesque for me.

back. what is this asymmetry, is she walking??
(maybe yes.)

Toyota Municipal Museum of Art


went Toyota Municipal Museum of Art to see "The Doors of Perception"
with our friend, mutonsan.
the museum itself was bright and nice and i love it
(reminds me of Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo),
also its gaden was comfortable.


first of all, lunch (and icecream.)


i enjoyed this one, Taira Ichikawa's "contact dome."


we could go inside, there were full of stars.



you cannot see by this photo though
my skirt (which my mother in law gave me) had also small white dots...






    this is Odani Motohiko's "9th room",
    maybe we could stay there for hours or more.



    attractive.
    i want to see a horror movie in this.



    the world biggesst, HERB's cake.
