Yoshiko’s Travels

The exhibition season has come!

I prefer autumn because I was born in November.

But this season, beautiful flowers are blooming and brilliant greens can be seen here and there.

In March, I went to see ” Japan’s Encounter with European Ceramics”, “Jusaburo Tujimura’s Dolls Collection”, “Germany Poster Exhibition” and “Edvard Munch; The Decorative Projects” with my friends and my sister.

Every place was relaxing.

When we went to see Munch’s art in Kobe, we visited an old sake brewery (Sake kura) near Hyougo Prefectural Museum of Art.

It was destoroyed by a severe earthquake in 1995, but it was rebuilt three years ago. I was impressed with the old wooden structure.

Let’s enjoy cherry blossoms in April.

She is a four-year -old girl and she had a pleasant experience at that exhibition in Kyoto with me.

Unfortunately , most of pictures were landscape paintings . She wasn’t interested in them. So, she could see only few portraits.

After seeing the exhibition , we went to the Kyoto Zoo . We came together my daughter’s family. I thought my granddaughter prefered the zoo. Her choice is always strange. Today’s one was a Python, because  of the same snake in Jungle Book Story.

It was very hot like summer on Sept.8.

I visited three museums allday.

First I went to The great Ancor wat exhibition in Osaka.

I’ve been to Cambodia and visited there , so it reminded me the magnificent temples.

Next I went to Prado museum exhibition. I’ve been to Spain twice, of course I visited that place . I saw some pictures again.

The last visit was Maria Theresia and the castle exhibition. in Kyoto. I watched it very interestingly because of I like European history.

I was satisfied that day.

I went the picture books exhibition with my friend in Osaka.

Many original pictures of Little Red Riding Hood were exhibited there.

Especialy I could see the Germany and East Europe pictures.

They made me happily.

In the evening , we went to the classical concert at Kousei nenkin hall.

I enjoyed very much today.
