What is Ukiyo-e?
Ukiyo-e is a term for an old Japanese art craft from the 17th century, where works were created through woodcuts. Directly translated, Ukiyo-e means ' pictures of the floating world ', and within the genre nature pictures, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, erotic subjects, geishas and life in the city were popular motifs to depict. The result of the special craftsmanship is, in our opinion, authentic illustrations, where history and Japanese elements are reproduced in the finest way.
