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.
