Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art known for its woodblock prints, which flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. These prints capture scenes of landscapes, theater, and even urban life using vibrant colors and intricate details. Rice paper, favored for its smooth texture and strength, provided an ideal surface for transferring the detailed designs from woodblocks.
