It is the main artistic genre of woodblock printing in Japan. Usually the word ukiyo is literally translated as floating world in English, referring to a conception of an evanescent world, impermanent, fleeting beauty and a realm of entertainments (kabuki, courtesans, geisha) divorced from the responsibilities of the mundane, everyday world; pictures of the floating world, i.e. ukiyo-e, are considered a genre unto themselves.

Fuji and Kabuki actors. size: 45cm x 31cm material: paper, wood BUY HERE: marujapanspecialist.bigcartel/product/traditional-japanese-ukiyoe-style-kites
