Japanese Woodcut Prints

More than 2000 Japanese Classic Ukiyo-e images + 3 bonus PDF book files

The art of Ukiyo-e is a spiritual rendering of the realism and naturalness of the daily life, intercourse with nature, and imaginings, of a lively impressionable race, in the full tide of a passionate craving for art. This characterization sums up forcibly the motive of the masters of Ukiyo-e, the Popular School of Japanese Art, so poetically interpreted The Floating World. Most of Ukiyo-e paintings were made between 17th and 20th centuries. The colors of Ukiyo-e must be soft and melting, in many cases one tone shading into another, not harshly determined by the lines of the block, as in even the most beautiful reproductions.
