Oh, we're lousy with museums. that one is where I saw the 500th anniversary Sesshu exhibit. He's the guy that invented the Photoshop Sumi-e filter.

A fabulous little site, and a pretty serious looking collection indeed. Thanks for the link, hama.

Less than optimal organization considering the greatness of the works. As an aside, let me suggest, for those willing to develop a deeper understanding of what oriental art (japanese more specifically) is all about, "The Unknown Craftsman" by Soetsu Yanagi, an indispensable and beautiful book.

Great link, hama7 - you have been bringing us an excellent series of really interesting Japanese sites lately - from Bunraku to the hounen matsuri festivals, and now this - some really great stuff! This site will provide many happy hours of surfing - thanks!
