The concept of using female figures as the main subject in art mediums is timeless. Capturing female beauty can express a lot about a culture and its beauty standards at the time the piece was created.

Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties. Ukiyo-e translates to “pictures of the floating world” and is one of the most influential art forms in the world.

In the 1700s, Tokyo was called ‘Edo’ and during the Edo period, many artists created woodblock prints for theaters, restaurants, and teahouses. Ukiyo-e mostly consisted of the artistic technique of Japanese woodblock printing. Ukiyo-e prints are characterized by a rich and distinct color palette, flat graphic-styled illustrations, unconventional compositions, and indubitably Japanese subject matter.

The painting has a waterproof coating on the back panel, which protects the screen from mildew or deformation. The rope makes it easier to attach the piece to the wall.
