Catalog note / 解説

The Edo period (1615–1868) saw the rise of a fashion industry similar to the one we know today. It developed most clearly among the large urban centres of Edo (Tokyo), Kyoto and Osaka. Knowledge about changing fashion trends was shared through woodblock-printed images known generically as <i>ukiyo-e</i> or ‘images of the floating world’. These were published in the form of prints and illustrated books. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
