Yesterday was a fun day despite it being rainy, as I was able to go to the Miyagi Museum of Art for the first time (though it is only half an hour or so walk from my place), as I was able to encounter some Japanese modern (not contemporary) artists gathered for the first time. In specific, there was a sculptor to whom an entire gallery was devoted, and his faces in particular were quite good, as I found myself surprised at my own great interest in them (because, for the most part, except for Rodin, I have almost no interest in formal sculpture)- alas, photos were not allowed, so I have nothing to show for them in physical form.
I did see one sculpture in the garden who looked absolutely perfect for the rainy day- a dejected, demoralized soldier, who spoke without words of the futility, idiocy and pure stupidity of war.
