Explanation:
Based on this image, we could conclude that Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints have simple shapes and forms, as well as very few details. This genre of art flourished in Japan between the 17th and the 19th centuries. The term "ukiyo" is meant to represent the hedonistic lifestyle that existed during the Edo period, and which included figures such as kabuki actors, geisha, sumo wrestlers and courtesans. These are common subjects of ukiyo-e.
The classical period was influenced by the contemporary society and ancient civilizations. The music showed the changes in society. The middle class increased significantly, and they were financially supported which allowed them to access more cultural music.
