This isn't exactly Ranma related, but I thought that it would be of 
interest to those of you with an interest in Japanese culture.  

Presently, there's an exhibition of just over 40 kimonos at the Canadian
Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, which will be there until October.  It
displays the works of Itchiku Kubota, who decorates the kimonos using the
"Itchuko tsujigahana" method.  These are some of the most incredible
pieces of art that I've seen, and I think that Itchiku must rank among the
greatest artists of the 20th century.  I highly recommend that anyone who
is near Ottawa should go check this out (I know that there are a couple of
you!). 

For those of you near Washington, D.C., the exhibition will be moving 
there in November, and will remain until April.  If you have the chance, 
go!!!!  

Ciao, Ulu
