Hokusai Exhibition Generates Wave of Enthusiasm
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 03.12.06 | 4:20 PM ET
An exhibition of the work of Japanese woodblock print artist Hokusai attracted more than 9,000 visitors a day in Tokyo last year, the highest numbers for any museum exhibition since The Art Newspaper began tracking such data a decade ago, the paper reports. A Los Angeles Times article on the high visitor counts—which careful readers will observe carries a far inferior pun-headline to our own; “Hokusai Makes a Big Splash”? Please—points out that Hokusai fans in the U.S. can see some of his works at the Smithsonian’s Sackler Gallery in Washington, D.C., until May 14.
