Teien Museum used to belong to the Japanese Royal Family till they gave it to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Old house, nice garden. Went on Friday to an opening Stitch by Stitch, artists who use embroidery and beading. Home Economics gone wild. Pero wala pa rin silang sinabi kay BV and her animals :).
Last three rooms hit me headache-hard with elaborate compact embroidery of family crests and sort of medieval looking feudal shields. Tried to look at them, but ended up running out of there. Etsuko my guide then tells me they are by a 'mentally disabled' artist, a patient institutionalized for life. Sabi ko na nga ba eh. So I spent some time in the garden to ground and breathe.
