Ukiyo e, "Pictures of the Floating World," was a style of paintings produced in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The Floating World refers to the theater, sumo, and pleasure quarters, and their corresponding culture in Edo (Tokyo), Kyoto and Osaka.
I saw an Ukiyo e exhibit last year and fell in love with the art, though pictures in a book are nothing like the real thing.
Ukiyo e could be very naughty at times--not appropriate for use on public forums, but I did add a few mild ones. Strictly PG-13 stuff.
