Ukiyo-e contain a lot of history about Japan and often tell
interesting stories of the times.
Chuo University is holding an exhibition at the Tobacco and Salt
museum in Shibuya with a number of Ukiyo paintings.
The exhibition is being held as part of the Universities 125 year
annivrsary and will be on display from this month until next Jan.
Do find this style of painting, illustration interesting?

If I'm not wrong, it should be an image of a kabuki theatre.
Ukiyo-e are awesome. Visited the Ota Memorial Ukiyo-e museum in Tokyo in the spring, and have a few prints on my wall as well..
