Yasuyuki Inoue's 100th Anniversary at the Museum of Contemporary Art!

On Saturday, March 26, I took in the Yasuyuki Inoue gallery at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo. Mr. Inoue was Toho's legendary tokusatsu production designer of the Showa era, and numerous blueprints, sketches, designs, scripts, and other items from his collection were on display. There was a lot of material -- almost too much to digest fully. It truly was amazing just how much of his work dating back to the 1950s and '60s survived. 

I picked up a few things at the gift shop at the end. All in all, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon. I just wish we were allowed to take more pictures of the exhibit itself. But here's what I was able to photograph. Enjoy!
