Also in San Francisco are the Legion of Honor and de Young Museums. We saw two exhibits: a Japanese woodcut exhibit and an exhibit of impressionist paintings from the Musee D'Orsay in Paris.
Woodcutting is incredibly difficult. Each color represents a separate block of wood that has been carved and readied for printing. Notice the rain; that particular block of wood had to be mostly carved away leaving small slivers of wood, which produce the lines of rain. 
In this exhibit we saw the 36 Views of Fuji. Also in the exhibit was the West's response: the 36 Views of the Eifel Tower.
This was also a later example of the West's responseto the Japanese style of woodcutting.
