Looking for a bite to eat at the visitor center after the Lotus Viewing (see last post), it looked to be a disappointing experience from the get-go- it was a futuristic looking building that seemed out of place in the small town of Izunuma. What was surprising, though, was that inside were a host of splendid exhibits, all of which were no doubt small in scale and not so glamorous, but that was seen through the eyes of a jaded fool rather than someone with open eyes, so eyes opened was I as I wandered among the displays.
Among them was one of rock sculptures, quite simple in fact, made by local school children, some of who did rather predictable numbers (based on cartoon or popular culture) but some of who did proper art with delicate and beautiful color combinations evoking nature.
