KUSAMA Yayoi exhibition @ National Art Center, Tokyo

This is a large-scale exhibition now held in Roppoingi, Tokyo. The exhibition opened at an equally colossal national art museum which does not have permanent collection but borrows artworks of significance for the exhibits. 

The Roppongi area is fun for a stroll. Once samurai warrior-clans' grand Edo residences stood here. Now Edo is gone and instead called Tokyo. Among the skyscrapers, legacies from the TOKUGAWA castle town remains, such as old gardens and shrines. After all, Tokyo, once called Edo, was where the Tokugawa headquarters was established. Confining the imperial members tightly in ancient capital Kyoto, the Tokugawa reigned the country freely based in Edo, with all the other feudal clan members under control and their lords showing allegiance to Tokugawa and staying in Edo regularly. 

Mountain & Sea seen at once

SAKURAJIMA mountains & KAIMONDAKE mountain look good with the sea.
