Seduction: Japan's Floating World Transports Viewers to the Popular and Enticing Entertainment Districts Established in Edo (Present- Day Tokyo) in the Mid-1600S
PRESS CONTACTS: Tim Hallman Annie Tsang 415.581.3711 415.581.3560 [email protected] [email protected] SEDUCTION: JAPAN’S FLOATING WORLD Escape to Japan’s floating world through a selection of rare paintings, woodblock prints and kimonos at San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2015—Seduction: Japan's Floating World transports viewers to the popular and enticing entertainment districts established in Edo (present- day Tokyo) in the mid-1600s. Through more than 50 artworks from the acclaimed John C. Weber Collection, visitors can encounter the alluring realm known as the “floating world,” notably its famed pleasure quarter, the Yoshiwara. Masterpieces of painting, luxurious Japanese robes, woodblock-printed guides and decorative arts tell the story of how the art made to represent Edo’s seductive courtesans, flashy Kabuki actors and extravagant customs gratified fantasies and fueled desires. At a time when a strict social hierarchy regulated most aspects of the samurai and townsmen’s lives, the floating world provided a temporary escape. The term “floating world,” or ukiyo, originated from a common Buddhist phrase referring to the suffering of the physical world, which was inverted to signify a realm of boundless indulgence. Both a state of mind and a set of locales, the floating world refers to the diversions available in the brothel districts and Kabuki theaters of Edo, a city whose population had reached a million by the beginning of the 18th century. The floating world’s rise to prominence gave birth to an outpouring of new artistic production, in the form of paintings and woodblock prints that advertised celebrities and spread knowledge of the city’s famous theaters and brothels.

Ukiyo-E Japanese Prints Depicting the Floating World
Ukiyo-e Japanese Prints Depicting the Floating World Grade Level This lesson has been developed for an Asian Studies high-school class. It can be adjusted for grades 9-12. Objective To examine the significance and popularity of the ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock prints depicting the Floating World during the Edo period (1615-1868). Concepts Courtesan—a woman of the pleasure quarters who entertained men through song, dance, poetry, and the art of conversation Floating World—a licensed area of teahouses, theaters, and establishments for leisure- time entertainment; often referred to as the pleasure quarters Kabuki—a form of popular drama blending music, dance, and mime portraying historical events or the everyday life of the people of the period; it appealed to the common people as opposed to the more refined Noh theater supported by the aristocrats Pleasure Quarter areas: o Yoshiwara in Edo o Shimabara in Kyoto o Shinmachi in Osaka o Maruyama in Nagasaki Ukiyo-e—depictions of the Floating World Key Ideas Originally the term ukiyo was used to describe the fleeting secular world in contrast to the spiritual world of Buddhism. During the Edo period (1615-1868), ukiyo came to mean that part of the secular world set aside for entertainment and amusement, such as the licensed pleasure quarters of the major cities. In the late 17th century, the suffix –e (which means painting) was added to the term to describe a genre of painting and prints that depicted the everyday life and activities of these various pleasure quarters. Popular subjects were the courtesans, Kabuki actors, and others who provided love, pleasure, and entertainment for men who could afford it.

A Study of Ukiyo-E's Place in the Development
PROGENITOR OR MERE PREDECESSOR: A STUDY OF UKIYO-E’S PLACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANGA THROUGH THE WORKS OF RUMIKO TAKAHASHI A THESIS IN Art History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by Julia Fields Jackson B.A., Pomona College, 2006 Kansas City, Missouri 2014 © 2014 JULIA FIELDS JACKSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PROGENITOR OR MERE PREDECESSOR: A STUDY OF UKIYO-E’S PLACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANGA THROUGH THE WORKS OF RUMIKO TAKAHASHI Julia Fields Jackson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2014 ABSTRACT In their effors to understand the history of manga , or Japanese comics, scholars have struggled determining the timeline of this art form. While some historians begin their narrative as far back as the twelfth century with examples of art that might be classified as “pre-manga ,” some academics choose to cite the start point manga ’s timeline in the nineteenth century with the first usage of the term “ manga .” Others researchers are even more conservative, beginning their scope of manga ’s history with the techniques developed during the mid-twentieth century which yield artwork recognizable to today’s aesthetics. The study of manga is still in an embryonic state, and the scope of this genre of art is vast; these two factors create a challenge in establishing a timeline for manga ’s history. Although it would be convenient to consider the history of Japanese illustrative art as a timeline that leads directly to modern manga , the myriad of genres and styles complicate the researcher’s ability to make claims about the pertinence of any specific point on that timeline to the development of manga as it is known today.
