Netsuke "A Tortoise with Hatchlings" 親子亀牙彫根付

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

The first photo is of a 3 cm ivory sculpture or netsuke in the shape of a tortoise with hatchlings on show at Tokyo National Museum. It was carved by Mitsuhiro in the 19th century. And the second photo is of a REAL tortoise I saw in the Koishikawa Botanical Garden, which was taking a walk😜 in the garden.

A REAL tortoise in Koishikawa Botanical Garden 小石川植物園の亀

The hatchlings are cute! 子亀がカワイイ！

The (real) tortoise was walking or running under the sunshine pretty fast for a tortoise😊 The garden is in Central Tokyo, 161,588 square meters with various plants, including beautiful flowers and gigantic trees. 

You can go to Tokyo National Museum and Koishikawa Botanical Garden on the same day. It's just about 3 km between the two. Neither has many visitors considering their areas. They are definitely worthwhile to visit!

東京国立博物館の「親子亀牙彫根付（光広作）」です。象牙製で19世紀の作品。3センチぐらいで親亀の上に子亀が乗っているとってもかわいい根付です。で、2枚目は小石川植物園で見た本物の亀。なんか「わさわさ」走ってました😊

東京国立博物館と小石川植物園、歩けます。どちらも人が少なく、お勧めの場所です。
