Ann Arbor Afternoon with Sushi and Art

Totoro Japanese Restaurant, Ann Arbor, where we often have lunch.
Named for our favorite Miyazaki film character, the Totoro.

Soup bowls, chopsticks, and Diet Coke.

The Totoro whose creator film-maker Hayao Miyazaki just celebrated his 84th birthday.

Sushi roll

Vegetable tempura … not shown: teriyaki salmon and orange chicken.
Always a nice place to have lunch.


A Brief Visit to the Art Museum

A very ancient pot in the shape of a bird.

Another duck-shaped vessel, Korean, 3rd-4th Century.

Hello Mae :)
The food does look good, and the visit to the museum looks
very informative as well as enjoyable I must look up if ducks were revered in ancient times, as so many artifacts are shaped like ducks.
All the best
