The staff of Gallery are very friendly to
guide the collection, and to give advice
for shopping. They said this is the first
exhibition of uranium glass in the gallery.
Many uranium glasses made in Japan before
world war-II are also exhibited.
I bought uranium glass shoes, with a price
of 9000 yen +tax 5%, because the yellow color
was so beautiful. In addition a dish with
price of 1,000 was bought. The color of the
dish is more like green, reflecting the fact
of low content of uranium in the glass.
