Ukiyo-e, that is, Japanese genre paintings and prints. It is a unique national art that rose in the Edo period (1603 ~ 1867, also known as Tokugawa shogunate period) in Japan, and it is a typical art of flower street and Liuxiang. It mainly describes people's daily life, scenery and drama. Ukiyo-e painting is often referred to as color printing woodcut (called brocade painting in Japanese), but there are actually hand-painted works.

Extended data:

The art of ukiyo-e painting is originally a flesh-and-ink ukiyo-e painting, that is, a painting made by a painter with pen and ink colors, rather than a woodcut painting. Ukiyo-e painting with meat pen is popular in Kyoto and Osaka. This painting school was originally decorative. It makes murals for luxury buildings and decorates indoor screens.

In terms of painting content, it has a strong local flavor, four seasons scenery and places of interest, and is especially good at expressing female beauty, with high realistic skills, which is appreciated by the society. The technical achievements of these Yamato painters were handed down from generation to generation, paving the way for the later Ukiyo-e painting art.
