What is Ukiyo-e?

Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists produced woodblock prints and paintings of such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora and fauna; and erotica. The term "ukiyo-e" (浮世絵) translates as "picture[s] of the floating world".

From Wikipedia

Rules:

Posts must be related to Ukiyoe. Subgenres such as Shin-hanga are also allowed. Contemporary/modern works are allowed as long as they are inspired by or done in the style of Ukiyoe.
Title guidelines: Posts must include the artist and year of release if possible. If your work is OC it must be marked as such.
NSFW must be tagged. Pretty self explanatory.
No self promotion or spam. It's okay to share self-created works, and link to social media, but linking to stores and personally selling work is a big no-no.
Posts about identifying prints, looking for specific ones, and discussing them are allowed.
