A gray-brown bird of prey soaring over a broad river on the Kanto plain of old Edo, children flying kites from the roof tops of their homes before the grand backdrop of Mt. Fuji, and the famous giant tsunami wave threatening boats off of Kanagawa. All these works of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints and many more are on display now at the Nara Prefectural Museum of Art!
