With just a few days left to visit, My Qi Gong tutor and I took a look round this fascinating exhibition of Japanese art. I was struck throughout by the humour.
Most of the pieces on display were highly valuable and rarely seen, and some of my favourites were tiny figurines just a few centimetres high.
The art was laid out in eras and so even the way in which faces and forms appeared varied from period to period; with foreigners always larger than life.
I found the exhibition curiously restful and relaxing; the subject matter is not often placed in such a traditional arena and opened up for all members of the public to view.
I also liked the fact that there was a cross - section of ages and nationalities among the viewing public, with a high proportion, of course, of Japanese.
