Did you know? Ukiyo-e, the Japanese art movement that produced woodblock prints like this one, literally translates to "pictures of the floating world." This "floating world" referred to the ephemeral pleasures and entertainments of urban life in Edo-period Japan (1603-1868), including kabuki theater, courtesans, and beautiful landscapes. While initially focused on these themes, ukiyo-e later expanded to include other subjects, such as birds, flowers, and fish (as seen in Koson's work), demonstrating the versatility of the art form.
