Japan: 'Osaka Party Scene'. From the series 'Mr. Aoi's Album of Charm' or 'Mr. Aoi's Chronicle of Charm' by Saito Shuho (1768-1859), 1803. The ukiyo-e genre of art flourished in Japan from the 17th through to the 19th century. 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 translates as 'pictures of the floating world'.
