The next best thing to taking your family on a trip to Japan? This exhibition! Expect Hello Kitty rice cookers, vintage Game boys, teen-girl Lolita fashions, and some of history’s most out-there shoes (from Masaya Kushino’s collection, inspired by 18th-century bird paintings). For the adults who come too, there’s a marvelous array of Utagawa Hiroshige woodblock prints on view. And last but not least, there’s Katsushika Hokusai’s world-renowned Under the Wave of Kanagawa. —Elena Clavarino
