What is Ukiyo-e?
Ukiyo-e (浮世絵), which literally means “images of the floating world”, is a Japanese term for an artistic genre of popular prints and paintings that developed between the 17th and 19th centuries in Japan. The term reflects the spirit of the Edo period (1603-1868), a period characterized by a flourishing urban society and a certain loosening of traditional social codes. There are many famous artists such as Hokusai KATSUSHIKA, Hiroshige UTAGAWA, Utamaro KITAGAWA and SHARAKU.

Product description
This is one of the “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” works of art that had a significant impact on European painters, notably Vincent van Gogh.
This work uses a bold perspective, depicting wild cherry trees in full bloom in the foreground and Mount Tsukuba beyond the Sumida River, looking down on the River Gods Forest (today's Sumida Shrine).
This symbolizes the charm of Kuniyoshi's composition.
