On a wonderful spring day (well the last days of winter) we visited the Tokyo National Museum. Located in Ueno park the museum houses a number of different collections in several building including the Japanese gallery, the Asian gallery and the gallery of treasures.



 After having a coffee in the sun and soaking up the warmth we visited the Japanese gallery. The gallery includes displays of pottery, lacquer ware and samurai artefacts.
