We finally had an opportunity to visit the largest privately owned collection of Japanese art in the country, or possible the world (don't quote me on that, but it's supposed to be something impressive like that).
As you can imagine the possibility of the boys touching something and breaking it was too much stress for me so I demanded that they were to keep their hands in their pockets...Christopher was caught being mildly rebellious.
Here the
warriors, or at least the shell of them, sit all lined up like you would expect the armor of
English knights of old to be.
This was Christopher's favorite helmet. Pretty intimidating isn't he?!
The
bonsai garden was really beautiful. This was my favorite piece. This is a miniature replication of a really old forest. It's amazing how the artist made young set of trees look hundreds of years old...gnarly branches, lightning struck top, depth and space by arranging larger in front and smaller in back...impressive!

I can't believe you went without me. I've got to get out there. And I think they change the display every 3 months.
