Ukiyo-e is a genre of art that flourished mainly in the Edo Period (1603-1868) and was produced by carvers, printers, and artists.
Since those professional craftspeople worked separately but in concert for it, the artwork of ukiyo-e has a highly refined quality recognized internationally.
The craftspeople’s combined efforts to offer the finest art pieces show Edo commoners’ enthusiasm.
While ukiyo-e was all sophisticated work, it was also among the popular culture embraced by the commoners.

Here, we will take you to the world of the “supreme popular culture” ukiyo-e through the Sakai Collection, one of the three most significant ukiyo-e collections.
