I went to Seta in Shiga-ken to see Yoko Ono's peace exhibition. I asked Yoko.W how to get there, as Yoko is from Shiga. It took about 2 hours and a half to get there. I liked Seta city, as roads are wide, traffic is not busy, and scenery is beautiful! The Shiga Museum is in a park called Culture Zone, and the museum is near Ryukoku University. One of my high school friends goes to Ryukoku University there, so I was surprised to know that she goes to such a far uni from her house in Matsubara city everyday! Since there are a lot of trees and beautiful scenery, I could see lots of beautiful leaves changing colour! Wow, I could enjoy koyo without planning to do so, as many people do for Kyoto lately. My favourite leaves' colour is very red. I found a tree which has lots of unique red leaves. It was sooo beautiful, even terribly beautiful, so I took its photo by my keitai. I can show u the photo on Monday if ya want^^. Well, to enter the exhibition, it was 800yen for college students, but guess what! I forgot KGU's student card... BUT! the reception ladies said that I could write my name and Uni's name on the sheet, so that I could enter as a college student! Inside the exhibition, there were a lot of Yoko Ono's works and information of her life. I did not know that before Yoko Ono got married Jhon Lennon(spelling?), she left her family to elope with a Japanese man! Did you know that?? I think it said that the man was a composer or somethin'... I am not sure. Did you know that Yoko Ono went to Gakushu-in?! Gakushu-in is a school only for some elites. Children in Japan's emperor family go to Gakushu-in. I was impressed by some of her messages or works, but you know, I am not an art person, so honestly, I often felt 'this is art, really? how? hmmm...' Still, I found great works which meant important messages. For example, there was a chess set on the long table with lot of chairs. What is so unique about the chess set is that everything, each chess' piece, the table, chairs, chess boad, everything there was just all white. The title of this work was like ' Play in Trust'. Can you guess what message it includes? At the exit, there was a tree. People write their own feeling on the small card, and tie the card to the tree. It is like Tanabata tree. It said, when the exhibition is finished, all the cards will be sent to Yoko Ono! Isn't this great?? I was excited when I imagined that Yoko Ono will read my card! After I walked all around the exhibition, I got to write ' I'm still thinking. Is peace really possible? By Yuri Chaya, Japan'. I wanted to write what I have learned in Scott's class, and what I felt for each topic, and told her our blog's address, and told her to click my page especially, but the card was too small for all these writings, so I thought short words were better. I hope that Yoko Ono will feel something special to my card. I bought some post cards and a book of this exhibition, so please tell me when you want to see them. I saw much more works to tell you, but it would take hours to blog, so please just ask me what the eles were like! SO! I did not have enough time to study for the test... He-lp! Somebody-! Oh, and please someone give Yuka chocolate! She is terribly busy, and needs chocolate terribly, she said on her blog!!
