Japan’s “Floating World”
Traditional landscape painting in Japan has its roots in China, but Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige transformed that tradition using a variety of colors for their woodblock prints. They both traveled the highway that connected Edo – or present-day Tokyo – with Kyoto and their prints recorded views of Mt. Fuji and other landmarks.
