Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate details, and themes that often depict scenes from everyday life, landscapes, and kabuki actors. The technique involves carving images on wooden blocks, allowing for multiple copies to be produced. Ukiyo-e translates to "pictures of the floating world," reflecting the transient beauty of life. Notable artists like Hokusai and Hiroshige greatly influenced this art form, contributing to its popularity during the Edo period.
