Hello from a freezzzzzzzing but shining morning in Tokyo !

Here is some news for those cat lovers out there.

Though I am not really fond of these cats, my spouse urged me to release
this information for other's share.

A new art museums of ink painted works of cats opens in the middle of March
2000. This NAKAHAMA MINORU ART MUSEUM OF CATS is located at a small town
called Higashiura-cho on Awaji Island not far away from Kobe.
A native of Higashiura-cho, and currently living in Osaka, NAKAHAMA (aged
55) is known for his unique ink paintings (sumi-e or suiboku-ga) of cats.

Maybe it will be good to combine the visit to this new museum with other
museums on this island. There is the Memorial Visitor Centre of the Kansai
Earthquake <http://www.nojima-danso.co.jp/memorial/index.html> which roofs
a real part of the fault plane which became visible on the surface at the
earthquake of January 1995 which hit Kobe. Also there is a museum of the
Bunraku puppet theatre which is worth to visit.
