The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

This show may be one of the most ambitious and radical exhibitions a local public museum has ever hosted because:

It allows photographing;.

It offers some simulation experiences of Edo-style Ukiyoe appreciation and

It exhibits some shocking works depicting blood-and-gut-covered murder scenes that I had never thought I could see in real, particularly in a public museum. 

The scary bits are separated from other contents and there is a warning board before entering the section in concern so that you can skip it. The warning itself looks scary enough, though.  

Directions on how to view particular works helped a lot see how elaborately created they are.

A mock Ukiyoe store was set up in the middle of the exhibition room.

You can sit at the store and take the works in your hands to get a close look-- just like Edo people would have done.

By the way, what should “traditional” subculture 

museums or publishers put on their shows or books when a public museum goes radical to this extent?
