Art exhibition "Jakuchu the 300th anniversary of his birth" is held in Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Jakuchu Ito was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period who is well known powerfull chickens and other birds painting. He is very popular in Japan now. (it was not like before, maybe for the last 10 years). So the exhibition became famous "hard to enter". At the peak, people had to wait for 6 HOURS, yes, much much worse than Tokyo Disney Land.
Then finally new meme was born, it is "Jakuchu waiting line SF" on twitter. It means people tweet, how long the the line to enter the Jakuchu exhibition is in SF style. " How long it has passed, I got a phone call from my wife, she deliver the baby. I wish I could be home before baby go to the elementary school". "The old man who said he would go to Jakuchu exhibition three days go has not come home yet. My coworker said one week has passed after his dad go there too. The strange part is nobody search missing old people. I am not sure what is going on..." like this. I like such silly meme. I like jakuchu too, but I gave up this time. Check his art which fascinate people such a lot.
