Beautiful and exotic, Japan has been a subject of fascination for westerners ever since Commodore Perry "opened" the country to trade in the 1854.

Famous Fictional Villains Mad Art Gallery	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., November 6 until Tue., December 1	St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park	Art Free Events
