Some newly confirmed Hokusai prints on display at the Matsumoto Ukiyo-e Museum…until May 31st.
A must see for any art buff especially if they have an interest in Japan.
The wood block printing was far advanced on European printing….multi color printing! It is fitting that Epson is based around here.
They can do a presentation in English too!

Right beside it is the oldest remaining Courthouse in Japan. It was originally near the Castle.  There is also a Road house at the adjacent court house and architectural museum that was used to house the young women who were traveling to work in the silk factories. They had such hard lives (near slaves) .
The place also had a secret room (if I remember right) for girls escaping.
