Post Japanese tin toy exhibit at Disney World
when missy and I went to disney a couple weeks ago, there just happened to be an exhibit on vintage Japanese tin toys at the Japan section of Epcot's World Showcase. we had no idea when we planned the trip, but you can imagine how delighted I was.

even though I've been back for weeks now, it's taken me that long to go through my photos (we took lots). I finally got these online today.

Great photos.

This exhibit has been at Epcot for 3-4 years.

It sure is fun to stumble into Japan and find it!
