Hi all,

I want to continue my story about Otsuka’s Palace ^^ so, after Our very fully dinner, We were waiting for flute mini concert by Rita D’arcangelo, We quite surprise and happy.

That night I though I drank too much sparkling water and green tea plus 1 cup of Nemu ( I called it : sleeping milk ), all night long I woke up about 6-8 times to pee pee ^^ so, that Nemu milk didn’t work! *hiks* but perhaps my concentration to sleep was distract by samurai figure which scare me badly *fiuh*

In the morning after We had Our western breakfast, We check out from Otsuka’s Palace to visit Otsuka’s Museum, the location just in front of Otsuka’s palace, so We walk and took some pictures outside the palace.

In my entire life, I never visit painting museum and actually I don’t have any passion about painting accept I always amazed how those artists can paint their object very resemble with the real one, the details and the colors, That’s all. You won’t find me do searching or attend painting exhibition intentional.

So, I was so happy and fall in love with I called it “MAHA KARYA MANUSIA” for those painting and all the artist with their imagination, vision, message , idea, creativity and all of things they put it in their creation. I’ll do searching and the most important thing is I can learn something.

This museum was built by the Otsuka Pharmaceutical Group in celebration of the group’s 75th anniversary.The Otsuka Museum of Art was built in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. With a total floor of 29,412 square meters, this museum of masterpaintings reproduced on ceramic boards is the largest exhibition space in Japan.It’s collection consists of more than 1,000 reproductions of masterpaintings in Western Art.

Need one day full to explore this Museum from A to Z, but unfortunately We should hurry up to catch up Our Bus to Osaka, I really hope can sharing with painting curator in the future, I need balancing my left and right brain, hahaha …

Maybe some of you will ask : How about photography? is it different? or what? Hmm… I talked about masterpaintings, they’re famous not because they are old, but their content is everlasting and priceless and by the way totally different with Photo, beside I’m not a master in Photography or Painting, so I can’t compare it and better We are not compare it ^^

Above painting is telling Us about human and all the glories will end up with death. Look at the picture … Mayor and His Friend, this painting show us The Mayor with his glamor robe and all jewelry mean He is a rich man, The globe means He is know about earth, musical instrumental means He is talented in music/ He can play music instrumental, arithmetic tool means He is expert in counting, above left on this painting show a cross it’s mean He is a religious man. Telescope means He know about sky/horoscope. So perfect! Rich, religious, smart, etc. But please look carefully into something like wood (bottom center), If We look this painting on the right side, We can see that wood/stick  is a skull , oh my … so people, please down to earth. No matter how rich you are or how smart you are, someday… you and I will die, We are not mortal, lol

I can read your mind … ^^ You just see some naked woman in the pool? ha ha ha… look carefully, This is a magic pool, can make you younger again. On the left side, there are some old woman come to the pool (only woman allowed to showering), they will check by a doctor and if they passed the ‘medical check up’ they can into the pool and be younger again, on the right side… these new young woman can dress up and party with some guys, oh my oh my … hahaha…

So, after say goodbye to the robot ^^ We went to California Table for lunch before we leave Tokhusima, hiks hiks … It’s mean Tomorrow is the last day at Japan.

Once again, If you come to Japan… don’t forget to visit Tokhusima … maybe August is the best time, because I read on website they perform Awa Odori dance every August.  So long Tokhusima … I’ve missed you already!
