I've been to the Victoria & Albert Museum a couple of times but today I spent most of my time at the Asian section, I read every single label I could and I stared at all the items that were being exhibited, I saw exquisite tobacco pipes, 19th century kimonos, ceramics (habitat-like) made more than hundreds of years ago, breathtaking wooden chests, extremely beautiful Samurai swords and armours and so on, but the only item I connect with was a mask of a character from a No play.
The mask was made approximately on the 17th century and pictured the face of a enraged woman, she was Hashihime, a lady that after being rejected ended up becoming a demon, hard not to relate to. It's ridiculous how silly we are, love (obsession and its variations) all ended up catching our eyes... how typical.
