Ukiyo-e: Special Japanese Art Prints

Ukiyo-e are probably the most famous works of art in the world of Japanese art. Strictly speaking, they are a separate genre of Japanese art. Originally, the term referred to Japanese art prints that reflected the atmosphere and attitude to life of the emerging Japanese bourgeoisie in the cities of the Edo period. However, the term Ukiyo-e is now also used in literature for other motifs such as animals and plant motifs that were created using woodblock printing and thus with the most common stylistic device of the original Ukiyo-e.

In our Kakemono scroll painting online shop you will find a variety of different Japanese art prints in the Ukiyo-e style. Our pictures are mostly original, unique pieces that we purchase directly from art dealers in Japan.
