Katsushika
Katsushika is a visual style that emerged in Edo (Tokyo), Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). It is famous for its ukiyo-e woodblock prints, which became popular in the 17th century. These prints depicted scenes from everyday life, including landscapes, courtesans, actors, and historical events. Katsushika artists, such as Hokusai and Hiroshige, played a significant role in popularizing this style, especially their series of prints such as 'Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji' and 'One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.' The intricate detail, vibrant colors, and stylized compositions of Katsushika prints made them highly sought-after and influential in both Japan and Western art.
