Envisioning Mrs Gardner gathering with Okakura Kakuzô, and the likes of John LaFarge, Ernest Fenollosa, John Singer Sargent, and other prominent Bostonians with connections to (or interests in) Japan... Well, their stories, their experiences, their ideas, just fascinate me. Ever since I first began volunteering/interning at the MFA, I grew fascinated by the stories of these prominent personalities, and their interactions and intersections.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing more about your experiences as a docent, and I look forward to seeing the new wing!Toranosuke Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572571651646607355noreply@blogger.com
