Ukiyo-e is a genre of art that prospered in Japan throughout the Edo-period. The paintings were produced in wood blocks and depicted female beauties, sumo wrestlers, travel scenes, landscapes, flora, fauna and erotica. The term Ukiyo-e characterizes a “floating world”. Suzuki Harunobu was an innovator and designer of the woodblock print in the Ukiyo-e art. He was the first to produce full-colored prints and he used many special techniques that depicted a wide variety of subjects. Harunobu designed and painted the first full-color nishiki-e print, the Zashiki Hakkei. Zashiik Hakkei is a series of various prints which depict parodies of popular themes of the 11th century Chinese landscape. These themed parodies replaced the natural scenery seen
