Tokugawa on a Turtle

Tokyo; Friday, June 16, 2006: Very near the Edo-Tokyo museum (which I visited in 1998) and only a five-minute walk from Eric's new home (which is under construction), we found this statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu on a turtle. The area nearby is called called Kamezawa, which is more or less "turtle mountain stream".
