Yesterday Mrs. M and I met at Shinjuku Station
and went to The National Art Center, Tokyo.
(国立新美術館)



We enjoyed Alfons Mucha's paintings.
(アルフォンス・ミュシャ展)





Mucha (1860—1939) was born in the Czech Republic.

His life was full of ups and downs.
He lived in a turbulent age.

I was deeply moved by The Slav Epic ----

a series of twenty huge paintings depicting the history
of the Czech and the Slavic people in general.
(cited from Wikipedia) (スラヴ叙事詩)

There was a room we were allowed to take 5 pictures
of The Slav Epic.











I was watching his paintings remembering the days
when I traveled in Czech, Slovakia and Hungary.

I felt
as if I were in Prague.(プラハ)

I am glad to know
I am getting my health back.

Thank you, Mrs. M,
for always watching over me.
