Origine et histoire Littéralement ukiyo-e signifie « images du monde flottant » ou du temps qui passe.À cette époque, tous les éléments, tant techniques que sociaux, sont en place pour que l' ukiyo-e atteigne son âge d'or.

Ukiyo-e means literally floating world picture - uki (floating) - yo (world) - e (picture). It is the general term for a genre of Japanese woodblock prints produced between the seventeenth and the twentieth century. Ukiyo-e - Images of the Floating WorldUkiyo-e 浮世絵, Ukiyo-e est un terme japonais signifiant « image du monde flottant », utilisé durant l'époque d’Edo (1603-1868) pour désigner un nouveau genre de peinture, comprenant non seulement une nouvelle peinture populaire et narrative, mais aussi et surtout les estampes japonaises gravées sur bois.

Cette évolution sociale et économique s'accompagne d'un changement des formes artistiques, avec la naissance de l’ukiyo-e et de ses estampes peu coûteuses, bien loin de l'aristocratique école de peinture Kanō.
