I also like the paintings but polarize towards the pottery/sculpture and samurai armor. I usually start at the very bottom and spiral to the very top and move on to the pottery displays. In the West Wing of the pavilion across from the art exhibit I was amazed that since the kimonos had no pockets, people would use netsuke both toggle and counterweight to help suspend hanging purses or boxes from the sash of a man's kimono. The detail involved in making these crafts left almost nothing to the imagination. Yet, it such a society where conformity was expected, these items allow for some individualism.
