		The development of this art form occurred during the Edo period (1603-1867) which was a time of relative peace whereby the middle class and common man could afford to spend their spare time and resources on transient pleasures such as Kabuki theater and geisha entertainment in establishments such as the Ichiriki Ochaya.
		Ukiyoe was an inspiration for cubism and it is widely known that it had a great influence on impressionists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
		Ukiyoe is a treasured art not only because of its depiction of life in the Edo period but also since its form is an enduring preserve of Japanese culture during that era.

		But despite the lack of ukiyoe craft which is done today, art collectors and those who love the texture and feel of these pieces can still aquire prints from original blocks here in Japan.

		Of those two, for those who want traditional information, the Ukiyoe has the better little white book and the pip cards have scenic decorations that mirror the Hana Fuda game, a Japanese derived card game lifted from about 1600 from Portugese trade ships in the Nagasaki port.
