Some people find it tough to simply let go and relax, but I sometimes do it for a change. It's good to unwind once in a while.
Today I visited the Ehime Prefectural Museum, which was staging an exhibition of Egyptian historical and cultural heritage. The items on display were all brought from Egypt and, to my surprise, one of three noted golden masks in the Egyptian Museum was also displayed. As the visitors weren't allowed to take pictures, I'll show you a picture quoted from the net. The right one in the picture was actually placed in a small museum of Japan's local city of Matsuyama. The historical importance of this mask along with other items like a coffin in which an Egyptian mummy was contained, sculptures of various periods, etc overwhelmed me. Listening to guidance from the digital device, I recalled the ancient days of the Nile basin.
Take a look at the second picture below. I took it in the hallway. Four to five-year-old kids drew them. Their intense impression toward Egypt looked like the golden mask and the pyramids. I remembered my daughters' pictures in the days of kindergarten.
