Japanese ukiyo-e prints are known for their depiction of the "floating world" or ukiyo, which refers to the hedonistic and ephemeral aspects of life. These prints often depict scenes from the pleasure districts of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), including geisha, kabuki actors, and courtesans. Ukiyo-e prints also feature landscapes, famous figures and events, and tales from Japanese literature. The bold colors and dynamic compositions of these prints make them a highly sought-after form of Japanese art.
