    Japanese culture is one of my favourite. The Japan house is a compound of shop, a gallery and a restaurant. However, the restaurant was closed, so I can not fully review it. The store was full of useful utensils, e.g., matcha whisk and a paintbrush... The gallery displayed a theme regarding weaving. It was interesting. Definitely a place to go.

    The Japanese Silk Braiding exhibition in currently on, and wow. It was really fantastic to see the techniques used. Really lovely examples on show, so intricate - really blown away. We spent around 30-45 minutes here. The main exhibition space is downstairs but lots to see on the ground floor too. They have a tourist information desk at the back too which is useful to know (I think it's by appointment only).
