The Great Wave by Hokusai

Ukiyo-e Japanese Woodblock Prints

Japanese woodblock printing emerged in Japan during the 17th century and remained popular into the 19th century.

The typical Ukiyo-e prints illustrate scenes from daily life. Landscapes, women figures (often, courtesans), and theater actors.

Known for their vibrant colors and bold compositions, Ukiyo-e prints are visually stunning and provide a window into Japanese life and culture during the Edo period.
