Hashimoto Kansetsu

Hashimoto Kansetsu (1883-1945) was a Japanese painter who created the garden at the base of Diamond Mountain. This painting is called "Monkey Waiting for the Moon." When we looked around the small art museum, we were confused to see an ancient Greek urn set among the more traditional paintings. I later found out that among other things, Hashimoto is remembered for his 'important collection of Persian and Greek art.'
