The Sumida Hokusai Museum is hosting a temporary exhibition, profiling the private collections of some of the leading art collectors in the Hokusai and ukiyo-e art world.

The second half is dedicated to the Narazaki Muneshige Collection. Narazaki-san was a leading figure in the field of ukiyo-e. This 'Supporters' exhibition will showcase around 130 of the works from their collections.

The exhibition will rotate the works half way through the exhibition to ensure they are protected: February 4 (Sat) - March 5 (Sun) and then March 7 (Tue) - April 2 (Sun).
