Time Out says

Art isn't always serious business – this exhibition, full title Comical Ukiyo-e – Humorous Pictures and the School of Kuniyoshi, displays comic woodblock prints from the Edo period. There's a wide variety of pieces, ranging from send ups of other works to detailed pieces with hidden meanings, plus a number of Utagawa Kuniyoshi's cat caricatures, so something's bound to tickle your funny bone. The exhibition will be divided into two 'terms', with each displaying different pieces. Visit the museum website for details.
