On Saturday, I made my first big photo expedition, to the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum in the suburbs of western Tokyo. It's a building museum, with a couple of dozen buildings located in a park in Musashi-Kogenai. At the moment, they have an exhibition of art from the Hayao Miyazaki movie Spirited Away, with original background paintings, character sketches, conceptual art, and workbooks. No photographs allowed, of course.

Okay, I snuck one picture, near closing time, just to capture a sense of the place:

Spirited Away Exhibition  

You can see all of the museum pictures (the first batch, at least, of lots of houses) at http://calton.fotopages.com/

REVISED: Looks like someone has taken some pictures of the Spirited Away exhibition--certainly more representative than the one I took--and posted them. You can find them at
