Toh Gen Kyo vol.21 - MIHO MUSEUM


	This spring, our museum shop introduces useful products and fun daily household items.
	Our shop in the reception area near the museum entrance features general publications on the home and housekeeping, focusing on kitchen products.
	Our South Wing shop offers stationery products for both adults and children to enjoy. Attractive scarves with artful motifs are also available here. In our North Wing shop, publications related to our special exhibition on Yosa Buson will be sold. Don’t miss this opportunity to find various books on Buson, including the exhibition catalogue.
	Our North Wing shop will also carry traditional Japanese stationery goods, such as small letter pads and pocket-sized inkstone cases for those wanting to try their hand at composing a poetic verse in the spring fields.
Note: Our last issue of TOH GEN KYO (vol. 20) announced the release of our photo book MIHO MUSEUM Architecture* (tentative title) in November 2007. Unfortunately, this publication is behind schedule. We apologize for this inconvenience.
