The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo is free on Sunday but it is very reasonably priced anyway, so go any time! We saw the four floors of everything from sculpture to collage. Included, was a special photography exhibit: Yutaka Takanashi: Field Notes of Light. This whole museum was surrounded by a garden and outdoor sculptures - untouched by graffeti and surrounded by flowers and blossoming trees. Each floor had a lounge or quiet area and ea
ch room had chairs or benches with books about the artists. A clear glass box of a gift shop had books, cards and small prints.In the morning before we went to the museum, we walked through the Sunday Flea Market at the Tokyo Forum. These were real antiques, not garage sale or plastic at all. Kimonos were $10. and of the most beautiful materials and designs. Swords, knives, pottery, plates, jewellry, boxes - so much that we will be going back to see it all. There was a designer there too; she was displaying capes and dresses, every one completely unique. Tokyo is a shopping paradise and everyone seems to go as a family, especially on Saturday and Sunday.
