painted in ???? or opaque water
color. on silk or large pieces of paper
or screens. There were some old style
??? of flowers and ??? and birds
etc typically Japanese. But unfortunately
in many cases they have attempted
to be modern and have missed out on
the part that was so wonderful in Japanese
art there were some lovely ????
though. One a landscape in very soft
tones beautifully done looking down
on a river. The portraits had the ????
after standing up in space but some were
beautifully done- In one section
which we ran through in two minutes
had modern ??? sort of french
looking. The worst modern style I've
ever seen. I was glad to see that it
was the same here as in Chicago. The
real painting had rooms full of
people. The modern stuff had one
or two people like us any thing but
admirers- Its too bad they have to
??? ??? ??? European stuff
to (?) base their modern art on.
