       | Every few months I post this link again about how ALL comics
       | (well, at least Japanese ones...) start from Hokusai Manga and
       | this exhibit tells that story beautifully.

       | It's terrific, and touring for several years all over the world.

         | I got to visit the exhibit when it was in Boston's MFA in 2014
         | or so, and it was really awe-inspiring. They had wood blocks
         | from period prints and it's just amazing what artistry was able
         | to come from that. I got a print of Red Fuji while I was there,
         | and it still hangs on my wall.

         | It's a shame that they won't ship to the US at all (and
         | apparently Japan's post office won't even accept packages to
         | the US) because of the tariff stuff. Here's hoping today's
         | SCOTUS ruling overturning almost all the tariffs fixes this
         | soon.
         | 
         | The last thing I ordered from Japan, I had chatted with the
         | vendor who had a friend in South America who was traveling to
         | the US for vacation in December.
         | 
         | So they shipped the package to the friend, who took it on
         | vacation to the US and shipped it domestically to me just
         | because of this tariff fuckery.

       | It's worth noting that the link on the page to the list of
       | pictures contains a mis-transliteration in search of "banbutsu"
       | for "banmotsu" leading to a blank result. Both are possible for
       | Mo Wu , but the prior is more common.
       | 
       | I believe this is the correct link to a full list of the Lost
       | Sketches:

         | Thank you for the correction! I managed to find some, but not
         | the collection as the post OP meant to share.
