Ukiyo-e: Pictures of the floating world
Ukiyo-e (浮世絵) is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th to the 19th century. The term ‘ukiyo-e’ translates to ‘pictures of the floating world’, capturing scenes of urban life, landscapes, and folklore. This art form is renowned for its woodblock prints and paintings, which have significantly influenced the Japanese art scene as well as global art movements, particularly Impressionism. In this post, I’d like to share some of my favorite ukiyo-e prints, as well as a brief overview of the art form’s history and cultural significance.
