Framed Antique Japanese Woodblock, Woodblock print

Framed Antique Japanese Woodblock, Woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper

Wiki: "Ukiyo-e art flourished in Japan during the Edo period from the 17th to 19th centuries and took as its primary subjects courtesans, kabuki actors, geisha and others associated with the "floating world" lifestyle of the pleasure districts. Alongside paintings, mass-produced woodblock prints were a major form of the genre. In the mid-18th century, full-colour nishiki-e prints became common, printed using a large number of woodblocks, one for each colour. A prominent genre was bijin-ga ("pictures of beauties"), which depicted most often courtesans and geisha at leisure, and promoted the entertainments of the pleasure districts."
