Kawagoe City today, just northwest of Tokyo I see.

Good to see so many of the original Daimyo artefacts gathered together in one place. So often in Japan these were sold off and scattered to the winds...

(In fact I have a few orphans myself, as do many of our members I suspect.)

Indeed Piers, but I am afraid that most of the collection is already sold.
I was lucky to visit the museum thanks to Jo before the selling began.
