Vintage Japanese Ukiyo e Woodcut ~ Bird and Flower iPhone 5 Cover
A beautiful antique Nippon Ukiyo-e Woodcut image of a Bird and a Flower adorns this print. Ukiyo e translate literally “pictures of the floating world” is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints or woodcuts and paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theatre, and pleasure quarters. It is the main artistic genre of woodblock printing in Nihon. Ukiyo-e refers to a conception of an evanescent world, impermanent, fleeting beauty and a realm of entertainments (kabuki, courtesans, geisha) divorced from the responsibilities of the mundane, everyday world.
