Utagawa Kuniyoshi Show Completely Awesome

You should be running, not walking, to the Japan Society, for this new exhibition of Utagawa Kuniyoshi. This print is from 1848! And yet it couldn’t look more amazingly contemporary. I mean LOOK AT THAT. (The Japan Society, by the way, is now free admission on free Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m. The more you know!)
