The Japanese woodblock print, particularly ukiyo-e, is pivotal in art history, emerging during the Edo period (1603-1868) and capturing Japan's cultural, social, and economic transformations. Utamaro's Three Beauties of Our Time exemplifies this, reflecting the shift from aristocratic to urban bourgeois values. Ukiyo-e focused on everyday subjects, contrasting with the aristocratic Kanō school. • The peaceful Tokugawa era fostered a merchant class, promoting accessible and affordable art through woodblock printing. Themes ranged from courtesans and kabuki actors to landscapes and erotica, reflecting urban interests. In the West, ukiyo-e influenced Impressionists like Van Gogh and Monet, sparking an enthusiasm for Japonism and profoundly impacting European art. • • #ukiyo-e, #Japaneseprint, #Edoperiod, #Utamaro, #courtesans, #kabuki, #landscapes, #Impressionism, #Japonism, #Westerninfluence #ukiyoe
