 Ukiyoe Tarot
Ukiyoe (pronounced ookee-yoh-eh) art began in the mid 1600s in Japan and is popular to this day.
It took two years for this Japanese artist to create the 78 paintings that make up the Ukiyoe Tarot.
Courtesans, samurai warriors, kabuki figures and wrestlers are popular subjects of this art form.

 Wicce's Tarot Collection
This elegant tarot deck, done in the Japanese ukiyoe art style, is an elegant reworking of the classical tarot tradition.
The little white booklet which comes with the deck is far superior to most of the ones like it; it comes complete with a brief but informative history and description of ukiyoe art itself, as well as explanations of all the symbolism and the meanings of all of the cards.
Within its own context, symbols have been translated to fit the ukiyoe style.

 Ukiyoe
Ukiyoe is a style of wood block printing created and developed during the Edo era (1603-1867) and has more than 300 years history.
So Ukiyoe literally means "pictures of the floating world." Ukiyoe describes the Japanese landscapes, the everyday life of commoners, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers and beautiful women.

 The Gitter-Yelen Art Center > Ukiyoe
Ukiyoe, literally "images of the floating world", refers to prints and paintings portraying courtesans, actors, and scenes of the pleasure quarters and theater milieu of Edo (later Tokyo), for which the historical period of 1615 to 1868 was named.
The style was developed to suit the tastes of the rapidly rising mercantile society.

 [No title]
A "'chochin' maker" in the Kayabacho townblock of Edo is depicted in one of a series of "Shokunin Zukushi" ukiyoe pictures believed to have been drawn by Hokusai in the era of Tempo.
With the introduction of candles which made much more light than oil-burning lamps, 'shokudai' and 'chochin' came into wide use.
I was born in the old province of Banshu where the heroic vendetta of forty-seven masterless Akoo warriors was depicted on many of the 'ema,' votive wooden tablets offered in prayer for good luck, which I often saw in my childhood in the precincts of shrines.
