Japanese Children Rolling Large Snowballs, 1913
Japanese children rolling large snow balls. Ukiyo-e (picture of the floating world) is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e was central to forming the West's perception of Japanese art in the late 19th century. The landscape genre has come to dominate Western perceptions of ukiyo-e, though ukiyo-e had a long history preceding these late-era masters. The Japanese landscape differed from the Western tradition in that it relied more heavily on imagination, composition, and atmosphere than on strict observance of nature. Bertha Boynton Lum (1869-1954) was an American artist known for helping to make the Japanese and Chinese woodblock print known outside of Asia
