Leonardo Da Vinci The Codex Leicester in Roppongi Hills


Roppongi Hills, one of the most attractive sightseeing spot in Tokyo, was just as marvelous as its reputation.
Yesterday, I went to Mori Arts Center Gallery to see the exhibit of Leonardo Da Vinci The Codex Leicester with my friends.
I have never been to such a large scale exhibit before, so I was full of high expectation and excitement!
Leonardo Da Vinci is the most noted artist in the world, and at the same time, he is also well-known for its extraordinary talent in science. In his

late life, he devoted his left life to studying science, astronomy, geography, biology etc, showing great extent to every genre. And his note "The Codex Leiscester" leaving huge information of Da Vinci's experiments has come to Japan. It was kinda honor to be able to have a see this valuable treasure so closely in real. The Leicester was displayed in a window of a dim room cause it was said quite weak at bright light. It seemed to have a strict guarantee to protect them. I have also experienced some experiment like water pressure, and stone, seeing Mirror language Da Vinci had invented. Honestly, Leonard Da Vinci is a greatest artist I know, although he has so many bad rumors, his fancy at the beautiful boys. The model of St. John Baptist really has animal magnetism as same as Mona Lisa.
Nao, my friends, would lend me the Dan Brown's bestseller novel "Davinci Code" later since this exhibit. I am looking forward to reading it. I hope its writing English won't be too difficult to comprehend. :-) Now I am reading Steven Pinker's book " The Blank Slate" these days. It is my homework of my English Course so I have to keep on reading it though its English is too technical for me without having any deep knowledge of Psychology.:- My teacher loves Pinker, but it doesn't mean his students will all do. I would rather want to finish <Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix> before. I love Harry Potter!!!(I0I)
