The thought and attention to detail in these exhibits is superb. As a designer I find them inspiring, particularly the semi circular/ black design and the one with seven bamboo tubes which looks better as five in your image. Great set of photos.

Could you post more photographs of things like tea cups, plates, fountains? I am so Japanese curious and your blog gives me a sense of what it must be like to be in Japan.
