In every Japanese museum, there are women who sit in chairs in the corner. Sit and just sit. What they are doing is beyond me. Keeping watch, I guess. On you. And me. Here's something a little easier to grapple with. The National Western Fine Arts Museum in Tokyo is providing visitors with a DS Lite to guide them around. There's a special cartridge that provide details on all the art. Each gallery is outfitted with a special access point that funnels the relevant info to your screen. Browse away via the touch screen. There's even a print function, enabling visitors to select art they like, print it out and collect it before they leave the museum. Brian Ashcraft
