A wing of the museum was shut down a few years ago since the rooms were in need of a major facelift. There was something really eerie about the abandoned looking galleries with peeling wall paint and dated signs. I loved it.

Japanese netsuke are small, exquisitely carved sculptural objects that originally served to secure personal items to the kimono sash. Their utilitarian function declined as the kimono fell out of fashion, but their popularity as a collectible and souvenir ensured the continuation of the rich carving tradition. Historically, the sculptures were inspired by nature, myths, masks, and religion. As the name implies, this exhibition features a collection of animal-themed netsuke in all their diminutive, furry, and fierce splendor.
