Ukiyo-e style portraits

Japanese Ukiyo-e style women portraits.

Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th to 19th centuries. The term translates to “pictures of the floating world” and refers to woodblock prints and paintings depicting scenes from everyday life in Japan during the Edo period.

Ukiyo-e prints were initially popular among the urban middle class in Japan, as they were relatively affordable and mass-produced.

The term “floating world” originally had Buddhist connotations of life’s transience but came to represent the hedonistic urban culture of the Edo period.
