UKIYO-E
Ukiyo-e, or images of theĀ Floating WorldĀ take as their subject the evanescent floating world that exists between imagination and reality; mythology and history; a view caught in a glance; a wisp of hair along a graceful jaw-line; a sudden shower of rain; a crashing wave; a dramatic landscape or spectacular erotic images intensified by the imagination of the artist. This genre of woodblock prints and paintings flourished in the Edo period (1603 ā 1867).
