Ukiyo-e Collection at SOAS, University of London

Oxford Art Online defines Ukiyo-e as "Japanese for ‘pictures of the floating world’ and referring to transient everyday life, it provided a major source of imagery in Japanese art from the 17th to the 19th centuries, particularly in the work of printmakers such as Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Utamaro."
