Ukiyo-e
Ukiyo-e (浮世絵 ukiyoe) is a form of Japanese visual art, both with its own intrinsic beauty, but also reflecting social systems of the Tokugawa or Edo Periods (1615-1868). It also extended artistic technique, including the printing of art books to make it more accessible to the wealthy, but socially inferior, merchant class. [1]
Literally, ukiyo-e means pictures of the Floating World, which included both geisha and respected courtesans, two quite distinct classes. It was a world of socially acceptable hedonism.
