Special Exhibition: Sliding Door Panels of Kyoto Imperial Palace @Kyoto National Museum

Today I went to the Kyoto National Museum to see special exhibition
"Sliding Door Panels of The Kyoto Imperial Palace"
Kyoto National Museum is one of my favorite museum :D I'm a member of this museum(this membership is very excelent, if you like tha National Museum, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Kyushu, I recomend you to make this membership card!) so often go there not only see the collections, but also to take lectures on Saturdays.
Today's special exhibition is not so curious for me but this is the first time to show people in 150years! Must see!! ...and my impression of this exhibition was good than I thonught. Yes they are the sliding doorsin from Kyoto Imperial Palace! So elegant!! consummate balance of neat and splendor.
#1 "Phoenixes with Paulownia and Bamboo by Kano Eigaku" IMAGE Onece I saw it, I was facinated to it!
#18 "New Year Greetings to the Emperor by Sumiyoshi Hirotsura" was very interesting for me. IMAGE Through these doors, you see the ritual ceremony of an early date.
