Tokugawa Art Museum

On Saturday M and I visited the Tokugawa Art Museum which is a privet museum known for holding the copy of oldest novel in its collection. The museum had an interesting collection of Tokugawa family treasures, of which I found the temporary exhibit of Hina Matsuri Dolls the most interesting. After having visited the National Museum in Tokyo the Tokugawa museum was a let down due to its smaller collection.

R visited the museum when she was in town and recommended a visit to the grounds. The weather wasn't great and there was a separate charge for the gardens so we didn't stop to see them. On the way to the Ozone train station we walked down this street lined with blooming magnolia.
