I've been a painter for 40 years and started making large abstract expressionist paintings about ten years ago. I've been working on more brush control in the last few years and, very recently, "NARRATIVE." This search lead me to some history from art school - Ukiyo. This painting @ 1:20 is a perfect example. It's completely flat yet it has perspective. The following clips are what I and abstract expressionist call a 'static - all over' aesthetic where the eye tries to focus on a an important and just surrender to the painting as one thing. Incredible video subbed!

As a long-time fan of Ukiyo-e, I really enjoyed this in-depth explanation. Your choice of images and storytelling is excellent!

I'm in awe of this great art. 1:20 was a print made by Ando Hiroshige, great landscape artistry. I've been researching his life and art. 5:10 was his memorial print.

I agree, that is a beautiful one, I also love his work. Do you know about purchasing woodblock prints? Trying to get one for a friend and don't know the first thing.

Our museum is focusing on the Kamigata Ukiyoe. Hope it’ll be your interest!

This is gorgeous. ❤️

Great video and fascinating topic

Beautful indeed thanks

Thanks for this

Amazing video, keep up with the good content. Greetings from Brazil

Exactly what I was looking for. I like Japanese wood block printing, and certain European artists I think might complement it.

Thank you😊

Thank you.

I highly apreciate ❤❤❤

Really awesome, how do you look up a print?

Could someone please tell me what is the name of the first picture in 0:00 min. This picture evoked so many feelings that I can not get enough of it, I need this in big.

Wunderschöne Bilder und eine großartige Kunstform. Kann mir jemand sagen wo ich Bilder- Ukiyo-e in Europa kaufen kann?

What is written in the background-colored (blue, gray, red, brown etc) rectangular box(es) at the top right of many prints ?

The title is “Sunrise at Shinagawa” in “The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō” by Utagawa Hiroshige Actually I’m writing this comment at a café near Shinagawa station, Tokyo (at 8:30 in the morning).😊

I feel like this is the origin of manga

Japans more than just manga, manga is just one form of Japanese art, it's why Japanese people dislike anime fans from other countries you think the whole country is either anime or manga get a grip

@Snow Forest when did I ever say manga was the only form of Japanese art? If you took the time to google it instead of immediately assuming that I'm being disrespectful or ignorant, you'd find that "inexpensive ukiyo-e printed books laid the groundwork for the manga industry in Japan". So why don't You get a grip and educate yourself.

the Japanese loved their tentacles even then

Its my pet theory Shinji Ito would a further subset had been around in the era of Ukiyo-e.

They did not need 20 blocks for 20 colours - any colours that were separated on the print could be printed at the same time on one block

I think it might have caused some problems about layering orders and printing efficiencies of mass production.

I thought my speakers were broken!

Otherwise this is great.

2:33 - Who created this lovely print? So luminous. I love these old Japanese woodcut prints. If you visit the Kyoto Handicraft Center in Kyoto, Japan, they make real prints in front of you. Lots for sale, cheap. Please do not add music to any videos. Drowning out the human voice and a source of irritation, not peace.

Get rid of the music. It's distracting and makes it quite hard at times to hear what you're saying.
