Missionaries, samurai, prostitutes and tigers in a house...?

Western missionaries landed at Sakai Bay, probably!

Ornaments of a horse or some imaginary animal on the check-in counter

Old carriage of Japanese aristocrats?

Western chest and chair, and Japanese miniature carriage

Guests of a wedding party

Carpet with modern pattern

Found a pretty girl wearing Kimono

Lovely flower decorating her hair goes well with the blue color of her kimono and matches the color of the Obi sash. Perfect!

This photo story introduces some of the art and beauties I found at the Westin Hotel Osaka where I stayed recently. The Westin Osaka is a five-star gorgeous American hotel, and I found some of the ornaments and furniture here to be fascinating. The huge ceramic art piece displayed on the wall in the lobby particularly mesmerized me. This is similar to those I saw at Otsuka Museum of Art located in Tokushima, in which all the art pieces displayed there are reproductions truthfully copied on ceramic boards.
