The Museum of Yayoi Culture

We went way down South of Osaka today to visit the Museum of Yayoi Culture.  Not to see the exhibits on Yayoi culture, though (which are also very interesting and worth a visit). We went instead to see a special exhibit of miniature glass art called トンボ玉 ("tom-bo-da-ma").  Fascinating tiny little dream worlds all hand-crafted in glass.  No idea how they are made but they are beautiful.
