A long wide marble staircase leads up to an enormous alcove with a small pair of doors. A transom above the pair of doors shows a large chandelier in the room behind.

Oh! I'm gonna have to go see this new exhibit! https://exhibitions.asianart.org/exhibitions/new-japanese-clay/

A Ruth Asawa wire sculpture, suspended in the air against contrasting walls. The sculpture has a dark color and a complex, bulbous shape that resembles a plant or an animal. The wire material allows light to pass through the sculptures, creating intricate shadows on the walls behind it. The walls also contrast with each other, as the right one has a rough, stone texture and the left one has a smooth, white surface. An electrical outlet on the left wall adds a touch of «je ne sais quoi».

Two people standing in front of a large artwork on a white wall in an art gallery. The artwork is made of two glass-encased panels that contain large detailed illustrations of nature scenes. The illustrations include plants and animals in black and white. The panels are framed and have warm lights on them. There is a placard beside the artwork with some information on it. The people are casting shadows on the wall. There is an electrical outlet on the white wall.

A photograph of a large artwork that is displayed in a gallery. The artwork is a black and white photograph of a street scene with four people in it. There is red text on top of the photograph that says “ARE YOU OK”. The photograph has city buildings and a sky in the background. The artwork is hanging on a white wall and there is a barrier in front of it. There is an electrical outlet on the white wall.

A traditional samurai helmet and mask, exhibiting intricate design and craftsmanship. The helmet is adorned with a dark metallic finish, featuring symmetrical engravings that add to its aesthetic appeal. Below the helmet, a red mask is visible, characterized by its fierce expression to instill fear in the enemy. White tufts of hair accentuate the mask’s features X (formerly Twitter)

I just got back from the #AsianArtMuseum in SF. It's well worth checking out regardless, but they have a Takashi Murakami exhibition until February 12th. Murakami does interesting stuff that explores Japanese pop culture and its implications.
