Note1 for B): If you use e-mail, please specify in your e-mail the name, and the museum if applicable, to whom you send your e-mail.

Note2 for B): Some of Internet homepages mentioned above are written only in Japanese (Chinese characters, hiragana and katakana). If the homepage is written in Japanese, I think you cannot read that homepage without some kind of browser, because Chinese characters, hiragana and katakana are double-byte characters which without some kind of browsers will automatically change to one-byte alphabets, numbers or characters on the Internet screen outside Japan.
