Samurai as Ukiyo-E Artists- Libguide Introduction
Welcome to this LibGuide! Here you will find research on the subject of Ukiyo-E, a specific art style from Edo Period Japan that roughly translates to The Floating World, and the exploration of samurai as artists within Ukiyo-E. Was it common for Ukiyo-E artists to also belong to the samurai class or were most of them not samurai? Here we look at documented facts from a variety of sources to answer this question. This LibGuide is designed mainly for graduate visual art, history, and Japanese graduate-level students who are curious to learn more about the connections between the samurai class of the Edo Period and Ukiyo-E.
