Write a note on ukiyo painting |
| Answer» In\xa0Japanese art, the term\xa0Ukiyo-e\xa0("pictures of the floating world") is commonly used to describe\xa0woodblock prints\xa0and paintings from the period (c.1670-1900). Due to their cheap price and attractive appearance, these Japanese\xa0woodcuts\xa0became hugely popular with ordinary townspeople in the metropolitan culture of Edo (Tokyo), during the second half of the 17th century. The prints usually depicted landscapes, tales from history, scenes from the Kabuki theatre, as well as courtesans, geisha and other aspects of everyday city life. If initially considered ephemeral and vulgar, Ukiyo-e became the dominant art movement in Japan during the period, where it was appreciated above all as a colourful form of\xa0decorative art. It was also the principal type of\xa0printmaking\xa0in the country. By the 1860s, large quantities of inexpensive Japanese prints and other artifacts were arriving in European ports. | |
