Checking out a sand art exhibition

Iconic: Sand sculptures of China's Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall, at the Yokohama Sand Art exhibition, Japan.

Yokohama is Japan’s first city to host the “Culture City of East Asia” project this year.

My husband and I had never seen real sand art before. The opportunity came when the sand art exhibition made its first appearance in Yokohama. So last month, we visited the exhibition held in a huge tent set up at Kia Naka-dori district in Naka Ward.
