*** About Ukiyo-e Inspired Art: Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," 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, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, scenes from history and folk tales, travel scenes and landscapes, flora, and fauna. The style is noted for its dynamic and flowing lines, simplified forms, and emphasis on flat areas of boldly defined color that influence modern graphic design deeply, as vividly demonstrated in this artwork.
