*** About Ukiyo-e Art Style: Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige popularized this style, which is centered around motifs of landscapes, tales from history, theatrical creatures, and pleasure quarters. Ukiyo-e is particularly noted for its distinctive woodblock prints and the influence it later had on European artists like Vincent Van Gogh. Characterized by vibrant colors, dramatic expressive lines, and a flattened perspective, Ukiyo-e captures moments of everyday life and the natural world in a way that transcends the mundane, portraying a world caught between the ephemeral and the eternal.
