It was a very meaningful hour and a half because there were things I knew and I didn't know.

On September 29 (Thursday), the previous week, I also participated in the first "Edo Food in Ukiyo-e".

The lecturer was Shigeru Shinto, a permanent director of the International Ukiyo-e Society, and this was extremely interesting to teach me a new perspective on Ukiyo-e, focusing on the food drawn in Ukiyo-e.
