  Highlights of Japanese Art. Max truly enjoyed the “attire of the military elite”.
  I preferred the “fashion in the Edo period”.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Finished off with a walk around Ueno lake, which in the summer time is filled with beautiful Lotus flowers.

  Amazed to see the intestines of a cow, and a whale…
