About Ukiyo-e
Ukiyo-e is a traditional Japanese art style that flourished from the 17th to 19th centuries. Meaning "pictures of the floating world," it captures everyday life, nature, and fleeting moments through woodblock prints and paintings of extraordinary refinement. Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji — of which the Great Wave is the most celebrated — remains one of the most recognised bodies of work in the history of art.
