UNKNOWN. Chinese Ship with Sails

UNKNOWN. Japanese print of a Chinese ship. Ukiyo-e, "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints (or woodcuts) and paintings produced between the Tokugawa or Edo Period (1615-1868). They were mass produced and meant for mainly townsmen, who were generally not wealthy enough to afford an original painting. The original subject of ukiyo-e was city life, in particular activities and scenes from the entertainment district, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theatre and pleasure quarters.
