Glenbarra Art Museum 

Wow. There is a modern Indian art museum in Himeji. Gotta tell the Kala people.

So just for fun here's a picture of Justin (India Justin) in...ah...India.



One of the coolest nights there we met one of his artist friends and sat on the roof drinking slightly less than cold beer then wandered over to his top-floor studio, which was covered by a raised leaf roof. Cool enough in the evenings to paint and relax in style, but I wonder how it managed in the monsoon.

He showed us a massive tryptych and innumerable gods, beasts and other creatures. Not the least among his works was one erotic painting. No problem showing the guys, and guess he didn't care about showing me since I'm not an Indian girl, but he did say "don't tell my wife". What silly fun. Really I almost asked him if I could buy it but was passing out from jet lag and the club the night before so missed that golden opportunity. Perhaps there will be more. A very nice man...
