Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art that was prevalent during the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries). The term ukiyo-e translates to "pictures from the floating world," as works typically depicted ephemeral or everyday subjects such as nature, travel scenes, folktales, kabuki actors, and sumo wrestlers.
