I love the Freer-Sackler Museum. They were having special free Friday evening events when I was in DC, after most of the rest of the National Mall was closed for the day. Got myself a free screen-printed tote bag and a small poster I still need to get a frame for.

Stunning. Toyokuni captured Shibaraku’s theatrical intensity perfectly.
