This was a huge Monet that was damaged in the war and the French didn't care for it. It was down in the Louvre basement or something then the Japanese bought.

This is a Monet and it was long and thin unlike most of his work I've seen, which is either square of more horizontal.

This represents a giant sandal and there are two of them on the back of the Hozoman Gate at Senso-Ji Shrine. The are supposed to be saying, "Our gods are so big these are the sandals they wear, and they can kick your ass". I think this is from the original Sanskrit. I might have paraphrased.

This is a 300 hundred year old tree planted by the 6th Shogun. We actually could have used some of those braces on our own limbs by the end of the day.
