A Photo Tour of Japan

3 May

May 3, 2012

My brother has been sending back some simply amazing pictures from his tour of Japan. Over the next few weeks I will be showcasing some of  my favorites. I decided not to do them in any particular order so each set of ten will feature a cross-section from across the country. I think they represent, in some small way, the variety of Japan. Please enjoy this first set.

These were taken at the Brooklyn Musuem. Of course there are no Muppets here, these pictures show great examples of wonderful art from Africa.
