The Tokyo National Museum Hyokeikan in Ueno will be hosting an exhibition called "Ukiyo-e Contemporary," focusing on ukiyo-e prints by contemporary artists. The exhibition will run from April 22 to June 15. Japanese woodblock printmaking techniques developed uniquely during the Edo period, producing ukiyo-e prints as a flamboyant art that reflected the society and customs of the time. The works of artists such as Toshusai Sharaku, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Katsushika Hokusai are characterized by their intricate carvings and vivid colors, and their outstanding techniques have been passed down to the present day and continue to fascinate many people. In this exhibition, a total of 85 artists influenced by the expression of traditional woodblock prints will work as contemporary artists with the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodblock Prints to create new "contemporary ukiyo-e." Participating artists include Mizuki Shigeru, Umezu Kazuo, Anno Moyoco, Ishinomori Shotaro, Awazu Kiyoshi, Asaba Katsumi, Sato Koichi, Matsunaga Makoto, Tanaka Ikko, Kurokawa Kisho, Ay-O, Wada Makoto, Hundertwasser, Kusama Yayoi, Yokoo Tadanori, Tanaami Keiichi, Kato Izumi, Shiota Chiharu, Nawa Kohei, Rokkaku Ayako, Hanai Yusuke, Lee Ufan, Antony Gormley, Kiki Smith, N.S. Harsha, Nick Walker, James Jean, Alex Dodge, and KYNE.

It was last minute decision to go as it was raining all morning but luckily in started to clear up around 2pm. I got combo ticket meaning you will go all the way up to the highest point. Getting ticket from machine was straight forward process. Ride on the elevator was experience on its own as you go up 36km/h. Mt Fuji wasn&rsquo;t fully visible as expected, but cloudy weather made the view much more interesting and dramatic. Worth seeing and spending not more then 30-45min overall.

I also happened to catch a small concert at 3 p.m. and was surprised by how many people sat quietly and listened, with many standing. They were truly enjoying the music.

When checking my ticket, the staff apologized repeatedly: only adults needed to buy full tickets, university students half-price tickets, and children, middle school, and high school students were free. I bought an extra half-price ticket, but it had nothing to do with the staff; I was misled by Ctrip&#39;s ticketing. I&#39;m writing this up to help others learn from it. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, without the usual noise of crowds. If you&#39;re not rushing, take a half-day to walk around and sit down; it&#39;s very relaxing.
