  3. I would LOVE visiting these spots! The folk museum is particularly interesting to me. I love the wood and the displays and I find folk arts especially to my taste and style. The natural history is intriguing too, and I really loved the photo of your friend/partner clowning with the dino! That's something like we would do!They both look terrific!

  4. Famous painting and works.
    I long for seeing it with my own eyes. I also like the exhibition that introduce personal collections held at the Tottori Museum of Art.
    Because I can feel history and think about stories.

    In ancient Japan,it was natural to sit on tatami mats.
    The table and chairs that appeared There. How surprise and wondered.😲
    Maybe, There must have been someone sitting in Japanese way on chair.
