Everyone has made at least one (or maybe even hundreds of!) spelling errors in their life. I'm no exception. I misspelled "mouth" as "month" in a post about netsuke sculpture and was unaware of it until it was pointed out by a kind reader. I always perform a spell check before publishing posts or submitting documents to clients at work. However, because writing "month" instead of "mouth" isn't a misspelling but a misuse of words, it went through the spell check without being detected.
Japanese Saying: Netsuke Titled "A-Hum" 根付って面白い！
Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。
I found this netsuke in the Prince Takamado's netsuke collection at Tokyo National Museum. For those who have never heard of "netsuke," a netsuke is a small carved ornament, especially of ivory or wood, worn as part of Japanese traditional dress as a toggle by which an article may be attached to the sash of a kimono.

Exquisite Chinese Ornaments of Three Kingdoms 中国美術の繊細さ
Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。
I want to show you two items currently on view in the Three Kingdoms exhibition held in the Tokyo National Museum.
One is a 5cm wide 5cm tall, gold and bronze made crown in the above photo. The color is so beautiful and its cicada design, usual for Chinese bronzeware, is so exquisite.
The other is "Money tree," a two meter high bronze made tree, decorated with more than 400 bronze coins. Despite the name, the tree has some kind of religious (not financial) significance.
Both embody delicate and exquisite beauty with many similarities to ancient Japanese ornaments.
東京国立博物館の三国志展に行ってきました。展示物が多かったので、自分の好みで二つ紹介します。
上の写真は「蟬文冠飾」という天子や重臣の装飾具。下は「揺銭樹」で英語では「Money tree」と言いますが、宗教的な意味合いを持つ装飾具だそうです。
両方とも、とっても繊細でした｡｡。

What's Your Name, Kung Fu Buddha? 仏様、お名前は？
Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。
What do you think it is? I found this 15cm to 20cm tall Buddha in the Tokyo National Museum. It was between an old plaque and an old mirror which were made from the 10th to 12th century and found in Tenkawa village, Nara prefecture, but there was no description of this kung-fu kicking Buddha.
So, hey Buddha, I'm gonna name you "Kung Fu Buddha"!
A curator said that a description of the Buddha is missing and that they're waiting for re-issuance. If you are in Tokyo or considering coming to Japan, don't miss the chance to meet him!!
東京国立博物館に行ってきました。そこの本館で見つけました。ムムム！奈良県天川村で発見された銅板と鏡の間にあったのですが、このちっちゃい（15cm～20cmぐらい）仏さまに関しては何の説明もなし。確認したところ、おそらく漏れてしまい（なくしてしまい）、再発行を依頼しているとのこと。
でもこのとぼけた顔可愛いでしょ。一見の価値ありです！
