« Vivre uniquement le moment présent, se livrer tout entier à la contemplation de la lune, de la neige, de la fleur de cerisier et de la feuille d’érable […], ne pas se laisser abattre par la pauvreté et ne pas la laisser transparaître sur son visage, mais dériver comme une calebasse sur la rivière, c’est ce qui s’appelle ukiyo. »

Ukiyo-e

Ukiyo-e | Merveilles - Marvels | Scoop.it

My love of ukiyo-e began before I came to Japan, when I discovered the little black and white Hiroshige illustrations adorning the pages of Oliver Statler's Japanese Inn. The beautiful ukiyo-e decorating this page, and many, many more, can be seen and downloaded in large format from the Ukiyo-e Museum.
