There was a huge exhibit at the American Art Museum of the work of Chiura Obata (1885-1975), who immigrated to the US in 1903 and went on to become one of the most significant Japanese-American cultural leaders of the last century.

I found his work to be very Japanese in feeling, such as this color ink on silk painted in Yosemite in 1937.

Home to the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum, the Old Patent Office was constructed in 1838-1867 and encompasses two city blocks. The museums reopened after a major renovation from 2000 to 2006.
Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
