Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum was small and nice. The Osaka Museum of Art with its special exhibition from April 17 to October 6 on funny people and animal people was nice. The permanent collection was small. The Osaka Museum of History was nice because of all the models and the emphasis on the archaeology itself. The Shitennō-ji was not impressive. Other temples in Nara and Kyoto were better. Too bad I missed the gardens. #osaka #travel #review
I loved the market streets. The area where they sell lots of Kimchi south of Tsuruhashi. The area around Nippombashi and south into Den-Den town. I loved it all.
I wish I had the time (and friends with shared interests) to see Bunraku and all the other performances. But I didn’t see any of that and I feel like I missed something.
I wish I had an empty apartment and I could buy more cups and bowls and tea pots and lacquer ware. But I bought nothing.
Tomorrow I’m going back.
