Carissa's Exploits and Fabulous Adventures




Japan Round Two

Wednesday, October 16, 2002

Yesterday I went with my host mother to the Matsuzakaya Department Store Museum (all the big department stores have museums in them). We saw a collection of art by Hokusai. He is really famous for his Ukiyoe prints (woodblock prints), although all of his work was absolutely amazing. It made me feel like such a failure to see his prints after I had just come from my hanga class. The small detail was absolutely incredible.
