Ukiyoe (japanese art)

You remember me saying that I'm a fan of the japanese culture ? Well, manga is not the only thing. Ukiyoe are beatiful pictures painted by japanese artist. One of the best is Hokusai with his famous wave.

He was born in 1760 and he died in 1849. He has a nicknamed called "the old fool of the painting" (I swear I didn't invented it, promise). He affected a lot of europeans painters such as Claude Monnet or even Van Gogh(you know, the guy who cut his ear while shaving). He is sometimes call the father of the mangas.( I swear that I still haven't invented it)

Ukiyoe painters usually paint the life of everyday


or ( and if you're a boy, you should like it;) geishas, the waitresse in our culture(well, not quietly).
















But honestly, I prefer the ones of the everydays life. They are more interesting at watching.
