The “floating world,” with its glamorous courtesans and popular actors, was the focus of urban m iddle class culture during the Edo Period, and the prints can only be under stood within this context. While the 1780s in Japan are typically characterized as the “clas sic” decade o f Ukiyo-e, it was the “brilliant" decade of the 1790s that witnessed the innovative talents of such print artists as Choki, Sharaku and Utamaro. There is something daring and at the same time ex tremely stylish about the prints of this period. Cropping, unexpected angles of vision, close-ups and the mica background were all devices that were either invented or that first attained real popularity at this time. Ukiyo-e Prints is being presented in honor o f the m em bers o f Shokookai of Portland, a Japanese business chamber, for their indi vidual and collective support of the permanent installation of the Japa nese collection.
