Rembrandt : The Quest for Chiaroscuro2011.04.25

I went to Tokyo to see the show, where is not my favorite city because I don't get used to those buildings and the artificial style though I do understand there are some people who like living in cities like my cousins....

Anyway, I enjoyed the show very much feeling excited to imagine where those papers he used were from.  Some of them were very shiny and they must be made from gampi. But my big question is still remained; how the papers were gathered at Nagasaki by using domestic transportations.

I have a feeling that I got some clue to continue my studies....

When I went out of the museum, I saw people going toward the Ueno Zoo ( the second pic ) probably to see the PANDAs which came just a while ago. ME ? no, i'm not really interested in them....
