Learn about ukiyo-e from the Edo period in Japan while listening to peaceful, Japanese music. Looking at art is a great way to relax and unwind. Katsushika Hokusai's art is especially interesting because it was the first time in Japan that art could be mass produced, due to the process that was used to create it. Woodblocks were carved with the design or picture, and then prints could be made from it in limitless quantities. The vibrant colors and intricate details in these prints make Hokusai an exceptional ukiyo-e artist. If you like any of the art you see in this video, consider wearing it on a t-shirt.
