And then, today, there was this:
It is a time of joy, for strangers have landed on Mechaieh.- David Kopaska-Merkel, "A time of great pleasure"

I snapped some cell-phone shots of a couple of the posters, which I'll upload later. Some things that struck me:
* some of the contemporary artists' obsession with Sharaku's rendering of eyes
* one artist riffing on that obsession by devoting his poster to "Sharaku's mouths"
* several posters focusing on mask/veil elements
* the nifty (albeit ill-supervised) kid project: in theory, each kid was given an envelope that contained two cards, each preprinted with a Sharaku portrait on one side. On the reverse of one card, a kid from another country had drawn a picture of their favorite person. The reverse of the other card was blank. The kid would keep the drawn-upon card, draw a picture of their favorite person, and put that card back in the envelope, which will presumably travel with the exhibit and "might someday be given to someone in another country."
