NAGANO - Part.2/2 - Matsumoto City
On our second day in Nagano, we visited the beautiful city of Matsumoto, full of traditional culture and delicious food.
In the morning, taking advantage of being in Matsumoto to go the to the Japan Ukiyo-e Museum, theoretically this museum has the largest collection of Ukiyo-e prints (more than 100.000 copies). The reality is that either permanent exhibition, the facilities and the museum shop are quite poor. The permanent exhibition is only a room, in which we can find engravings especially focused on the prints of kimonos. Among them, we could find principally prints of Kunisada, Eisen and some of Kuniyoshi.
We assume that this museum should be more interesting when they organize some curated exhibition.
As for the museum shop, a small number of not very interesting catalogs, and some postcards and reproductions.
Luckily, we arranged the day by moving to Matsumoto Castle, a true national treasure of Japan, for being one of the four original castles to be.
We also enjoyed it with an environment full of "Sakuras" and Japanese carps, "Koi".
In short, a journey that we took these memories as souvenirs, and keep in a corner of our hearts.
