We took a rest day yesterday and traveled by train over to a town called Obuse (ob-oo-say). They have a art gallery there dedicated to the famous edo period painter Hokusai. He's the guy who did the Classic Japanese wave paintings etc. Nice collection and all very interesting. Hokusai spent a number of years living and painting in Obuse in his later life.
Excellent meal at a dedicated tofu restaurant over near a temple. The food was superb and we were treated very kindly by the owners, they even gave us little gifts.
